In 1928 Arthur Upfield, Australia’s premier crime writer, plotted the perfect murder for his novel The Sands of Windee. Meanwhile, one of his friends, stockman Snowy Rowles, put the scheme into deadly effect, even before the book was published. This true story resulted in one of Australia’s most sensational murder trials of the 1930’s and catapulted Upfield’s name onto the world stage.

Inspiré d'un drame réel qui eut lieu dans l'outback australien en 1980, "Un cri dans la nuit" raconte l'histoire d'une mère accusée d'infanticide, son bébé ayant disparu, alors qu'elle campait, enlevé, d'après sa version, par un dingo, chien sauvage australien. Ce film pose surtout le problème de la presse à grand tirage du monde entier qui fait son miel de ce genre d'anecdote quelles qu'en soient les conséquences pour les protagonistes innocents ou coupables.
