Territory plot

Territory features a dangerous battle for land and legacy threatens to topple a powerful family dynasty in this gripping drama set in Australia’s remote Northern Territory. Following his favourite son’s death, ruthless patriarch Colin Lawson (Longmire’s Robert Taylor) is left without an heir for the world’s largest cattle station and struggles to name a successor. While his other son Graham (Michael Dorman) is a hopeless alcoholic, his daughter-in-law Emily (The Newsreader’s Anna Torv) has worked hard for a seat at the table. Also in the running are Colin’s grandkids: runaway Marshall (Sam Corlett) and college dropout Susie (Philippa Northeast). But as wealthy miners, Indigenous elders and rival cattle barons all circle like vultures, will the fight for power and succession destroy the Lawsons?
