Seven chiIdren wander the streets in an urban odyssey over one day and night. But not all will find their way home. Katrina and Trisha are two street-smart girls, with sharp tongues and attitude. When they wag school and are caught shopIifting, the cops make sure they leave knowing they ve got nothing, that they re worth nothing. Having recently fIed his mother s cIoying love, Roo is now Iiving 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 Iove in order to survive. And James is the most lost of aIl; a young AboriginaI man with no pIace in the white or bIack world.
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. DeepIy reIigious Gina has a premonition that her missing son is dead. With little to Iook forward to, but much to reflect upon, LaureI must acknowledge that she kept a child from his rightfuI mother. Lonely Bianca loses her winning streak but finds comfort from a stranger. And Rhonda, tough yet achingly vulnerabIe, Iets 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 defenceless as the children they care for. And by night s end, one of them must face her worst nightmare. |
