River and Glyn-Maloney previously worked together on Robbie Hood, another Northern Territory-based drama.
Thou Shalt Not Steal follows Robyn (Watson), a young Aboriginal delinquent searching for the truth behind a mysterious family secret, who escapes prison and reluctantly teams up with awkward teenager Gidge (McDonald).
Together they flee her small central desert community on a perilous journey through the outback, finding answers and learning some hard life lessons along the way.

Hot on their heels are Maxine (Otto), a sex trafficker whose cab Robyn has stolen, and Gidge’s domineering father Robert (Taylor), a fraudulent preacher.
Director and co-creator Dylan River said, “My family always said be careful what you write, you might have to make it one day!”
“I’m so happy with the team we’ve put together for Thou Shall Not Steal and can’t wait for audiences to join our cast of characters for a good old-fashioned road trip from the NT to South Africa.”
Thou Shalt Not Steal also features an impressive cast including Natasha Wanganeen, Damian Walshe-Howling and Geoff Morrell.
