Limbo

Synopsis

Limbo follows Travis Hurley, a jaded detective who arrives in the remote small Australian outback town of Limbo to investigate a 20-year-old unsolved murder of local Aboriginal girl Charlotte Hayes.

Forming bonds with the victim’s fractured family, Travis unravels a series of hard truths about the murder, highlighting the complexities of loss and injustice experienced by First Nations Australians.

Sen describes Limbo as a desert noir or neo-western whodunnit set against the backdrop of the rugged Australian desert.

Limbo is a quest for truth — an intimate study in intergenerational trauma and its ongoing post-colonial effects on Indigenous Australia,” he said.
