Just before the Cull, Kelly McGuire and his gang staged a spectacular raid, to seize a load of gold bullion from an airplane on the runway, armed only with guts, guns, motorcycles and a bulldozer. But the deal went sour when one of Kelly's mates tipped off the cops, and the gang was ambushed. McGuire barely got away with his life, running into the Bush beyond Melbourne's sprawling suburbs.

Six months is a long time to hide out. Long enough for the world to end, for one thing. But now "Dead" Kelly—as the press was calling him towards the end, when the police reported they'd found his body—is back, and he's gunning for some payback. A chance discovery gives him the perfect get-up, courtesy of another outlaw Kelly, and he's set to figure out which one of his mates done him over. If he has to kill every one of the bastards to get there.
