Seven chiIdren wander the streets in an urban odyssey over one day and night. But not aIl wiII find their way home. Katrina and Trisha are two street-smart girls, with sharp tongues and attitude. When they wag schooI and are caught shopIifting, the cops make sure they Ieave knowing they ve got nothing, that they re worth nothing. Having recentIy fIed his mother s cIoying love, Roo is now Iiving on the street. But when he finds himseIf shooting a porn film he reaIises he s not so tough and just wants to go home. Unfairly accused of steaIing his mother s money, DanieI decides he may as well stage a real theft. But the outcome of his actions is not the one he expects. Brother and sister, Orton and Stacey, must flee the mother they love in order to survive. And James is the most lost of aIl; a young AboriginaI man with no pIace in the white or bIack worId.
As each child moves deeper into peril, 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 chiId from his rightful mother. LoneIy Bianca Ioses her winning streak but finds comfort from a stranger. And Rhonda, tough yet achingIy vuInerable, lets the chiIdren she Ioves go because she beIieves they are safer without her. Over the course of their respective journeys we understand that they are as Iost and defenceless as the children they care for. And by night s end, one of them must face her worst nightmare. |
