Nor Wen, a reluctant Japanese Kamikaze Pilot was determined to escape the madness of the war and obey his father and escape to Brazil. Unforeseen circumstances see him crash in the Kimberly Ranges of Western Australia, almost on top of two prospectors searching for diamonds, a Missionary and his fifteen year old son. Against the odds the three become close friends. For three years the three men form a working relationship, living at the Billabong at the base of the range, surviving the desert and the local Aborigines. Their mining unsuccessfull and the war almost at an end, the three decide to return to civilisation. The sudden untimely death of his father forced Michael to take up a position with his Uncles Law firm in Sydney. Framed for embezzlement by his insanely jealous older cousin he is forced to leave the firm. Shamed and with no other option Michael returned to the only home he knew, the mine at the Billabong. Fate and two small birds saw him finally discover the diamonds..
