The Alice

A group of strangers meet in the desert outside the red centre of Australia, Alice Springs, to view the total eclipse of the sun. The travellers' fates collide as they become embroiled in a murder mystery and end up lingering in the eerie town far longer than they had expected. Constable Hugh Delaney's son, Toby, and his partners expect a bus-load of Germans, but a crazy truck driver destroys their hotel, so he improvises an 'adventurous bush trip'. Future medical student Matt Marione takes the train searching for lost medicinal treasures from the aborigines and finds a mysterious lover aboard. 'Pellican' jogs all the way to Ayers Rock, accompanied by his wife and her grumpy friend who wants him out of the way. Former rock lead singer Jack Jaffers, who deserted his band's reunion to revisit the desert where they had their first success, joins them.
