Initiation

Summary:

Every young man is tested, but only the strong survive.

Danny Molloy, a tough street kid from Brooklyn, is about to face the biggest test of his life . . . in the Australian outback.
After a hasty departure from the U.S. where he was in trouble with the law, Danny confronts his father, a down and out drug smuggler, who abandoned him as a young boy ten years earlier. Upon Danny’s arrival at his father’s remote ranch, his bitter recriminations eventually bring him into conflict with a willful but alluring half sister and his beautiful stepmother. But this is only the beginning to a nightmarish ordeal that includes encounters with aboriginal mysticism and ruthless Australian gangsters. Nothing in America has prepared Danny for what he must face in Australia’s outback.

Danny must earn his rite of passage by overcoming incredible odds and surviving the adventure of a lifetime.
