Product Details

This boxset features Series 1 and 2 of Mystery Road, as well as Origin where we find out where it all began. Big landscapes and stunning scenery, this is the Australian outback, specifically the town of Patterson. When two farmhands – Marley, a local Indigenous boy and Reese, a backpacker – go missing from a cattle station, Indigenous detective Jay Swan (Aaron Pedersen) is sent to this remote town to investigate. Loner Jay must work with smart, tough local cop Emma James (Judy Davis). As Jay and Emma investigate Marley and Reese’s relationships and secrets they soon find themselves unpeeling the hidden layers of the town’s dark history, becoming embroiled in a deep mystery that will send shockwaves through the community. In Series 2, a decapitated body is found in the mangroves of a coastal town, Jay teams up with local constable Fran Davis (Jada Alberts, Wentworth) to investigate the crime. Soon a nearby archaeologist (Sofi a Helin, The Bridge) makes a find that could help with the case, but she conceals it for fear of shutting down her dig site. Facing obstruction at every turn and a rising body count, Jay must expose the web of corruption plaguing the town. Origin is set in 1999, where Constable Jay Swan, a charismatic young officer arrives at his new station. Fresh from the city and tipped for big things, Jay might be the new copper, but he’s not new to this town. His estranged father Jack lives here, as does the woman who will change his life forever, Mary.
