'Jack' is a huge red kangaroo who guided by an aborigine elder Kadaicha, lives in the spirit world, and because of their relationship 'Jack', becomes a Guardian of the Outback. 'Kaya' is a skilled tracker and hunter who roams the vast, desolate lands of the Outback. Elders warned Kaya there was an evil spirit which had taken the form of a monstrous kangaroo, and was driven by an insatiable thirst for blood. He must confront evil and bring peace to the Outback. 'The Madness of Outback's Shadow' is a dark tale and according to legend, Outback's Shadow, a kangaroo, was cursed for trespassing into sacred grounds, and ever since, it roamed the desolate plains, seeking vengeance on any who dared enter its domain. The story was dismissed as a mere folktale by most, but for those who lived near the Outback, it was a different matter entirely.
