The Kelly clan had hoped for a better lot in Australia than in Ireland. In the new colony, however, they found themselves once again destined to lives of poverty, rejection and powerlessness. With their dream of dignity, freedom and land denied them, some succumbed, others rebelled. Since his death in the old Melbourne Gaol on 11 November 1880, Ned Kelly has become a part of the land and its memories. In this evocative, imaginative recreation of the Kelly story, John Molony unravels the tangled skein of a life over which legend has cast a spell.
An elderly couple, Wilbur and Ellie Weiss, who had escaped the concentration camps under the Nazi regime during World War II were headed for home when they were accidently run off the road on a treacherous snowy New Year's Eve night in 1980 and killed instantly when their car landed sideways in a ditch. Six months later, the couple involved in running them off the road, Andy and Marisa Janzen, bought the Weiss' Victorian London home when they moved from Joplin Missouri to Charleston Missouri when Andy took the job as hospital adminstrator. Wilbur concocts a variety of methods to try and scare the Janzen family away out of their home with the blessing of his wife. That also included the family of Hank, Cindy, Mary, and Joseph Pritchard-Hank and Cindy were also in the car with Andy and Marisa when Andy accidently clipped the rear of the Weiss' car who had been drinking celebrating his new job. Much to the dismay of Ellie, Wilbur's attempts to get rid of the Janzen family also included putting the children from both families at risk-something Ellie wanted Wilbur promised he would not do, a promise Wilbur said he could not keep, but assured his late wife, he wouldm do everything he could, to keep the innocence of the kids out of harm's way which would be an eays task. After a tragic accdient that involved the Janzen's close friends, Hank and Cindy, Andy and Marisa were determined to stay in their new home until Wilbur had no choice but to try and force the Janzen family out through the most extreme measures.
