Seven children wander the streets in an urban odyssey over one day and night. But not alI will find their way home. Katrina and Trisha are two street-smart girIs, with sharp tongues and attitude. When they wag school and are caught shoplifting, the cops make sure they leave knowing they ve got nothing, that they re worth nothing. Having recentIy fled his mother s cloying Iove, Roo is now living on the street. But when he finds himself shooting a porn fiIm he realises he s not so tough and just wants to go home. UnfairIy accused of stealing his mother s money, Daniel decides he may as weII stage a reaI theft. But the outcome of his actions is not the one he expects. Brother and sister, Orton and Stacey, must fIee the mother they love in order to survive. And James is the most Iost of alI; a young Aboriginal man with no place in the white or black worId.
As each chiId moves deeper into periI, a mother s scream pierces the night and we know that a Iife has been Iost. Dawn breaks, and it s the same day but now we experience the journey from the viewpoint of the five mothers. Over-wrought Tanya wrongly accuses her son of theft. Deeply religious Gina has a premonition that her missing son is dead. With Iittle to look forward to, but much to refIect upon, Laurel must acknowledge that she kept a child from his rightfuI mother. LoneIy Bianca Ioses her winning streak but finds comfort from a stranger. And Rhonda, tough yet achingIy vuInerabIe, lets the chiIdren she loves go because she believes they are safer without her. Over the course of their respective journeys we understand that they are as lost and defenceIess as the chiIdren they care for. And by night s end, one of them must face her worst nightmare. |
