As World War two draws to a close seven Australian brothers of indigenous decent find themselves needing to transition back to civilian life and their families. Most head back to the rural area of their birth and where their parents still live as farmers.
Two of the brothers see their future and fortune in the booming coal mines of New South Wales. They easily settle into mining life and eventually start their own business.
Their lives are settled and prosperous until 1949 when they come into direct conflict with the powerful coal miners union which is controlled by the Australian Communist Party. Their brothers answer their call for assistance and for the next seven weeks they battle the brutality of the unions while at the same time planning their strategy to gain retribution and justice.
Quarter Cast Bastards is a fiction based around real characters who faced racism, violence, and treachery while maintaining their principles during brutal times.
