Once Were Brothers

In 19th Century New Zealand, the Thomas family’s lives will never be the same again when seven-year-old Daniel Thomas is abducted from their farm by Maoris angered by the desecration of land that is tapu, or sacred. The land contains the bones of their iwi's ancestors. The culprit, Daniel’s father, devotes his remaining years to searching for his missing blue-eyed, blond-haired son. Until his death a decade later, he’s assisted in his search by Daniel’s identical twin brother Benjamin. Like his father, Benjamin believes Daniel is still alive. Twenty years later and now a family man himself with children of his own, Benjamin receives a tip-off that could confirm one way or another whether his brother is alive or dead.
