Two men, lost in the desert… or are they? Tahir, a soft-spoken, young Afghani-Australian who came here as a child, fleeing the Russian invasion of his homeland. Hurtle, a rough, older, archetypal Aussie bloke. A tumbler who got caught cracking a safe in 1964. An ex-con. An absent father. Together, Tahir and Hurtle stumble across the arid landscape with only a mouthful of water left between them…Jen, a young, headstrong woman, a soldier, stationed alone on a remote military base miles from anywhere in the Australian desert. In good faith and against regulations, Jen offers comfort and shelter to Tahir and Hurtle, seemingly on death’s doorstep after wandering the desert for days. But when Tahir drops a GPS Unit from his pocket, it becomes to clear to her that this is not what it seems. They are not lost. They are exactly where they planned to be. Is this an act of terrorism, or something more basis than that? Held hostage in her own military post, Jen learns of the their plan… to recover 24 bars of gold hidden in a secret underground desert base after the bombing of Darwin in the second world war. The Tumbler is a tale of three lost people who are looking for a way back to the lives they have lost… and a way to make sense of a world where the truth has too many sides and doing what seems right doesn’t always make you a good guy…
