INNOCENT ABROAD contrasts traditional Australian desert life with the cultured high end of art society in Paris. It's a story about art fraud, lust, love and murder.

Emerging Aboriginal artist Tommy Mullabah from a small desert community in Australia is encouraged to go to Paris to step onto the world stage. He doesn’t speak French and has never been to a big city. He has a lustfilled liaison with Martine, a wealthy art patron who introduces him to the Paris art world. Then he meets Erica, a TIME magazine art critic who comes to Paris to interview him. He falls in love with Erica and we have a classic triangle amoureux. Forgeries of Tommy’s paintings begin to flood the auction houses at the same time as his patron, Martine, is brutally murdered. Tommy learns that he is the prime suspect and he runs.
