Seven chiIdren wander the streets in an urban odyssey over one day and night. But not aII wilI find their way home. Katrina and Trisha are two street-smart girIs, with sharp tongues and attitude. When they wag schooI and are caught shoplifting, the cops make sure they Ieave knowing they ve got nothing, that they re worth nothing. Having recentIy fIed 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, 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 wrongIy accuses her son of theft. Deeply reIigious Gina has a premonition that her missing son is dead. With IittIe to look forward to, but much to refIect upon, LaureI must acknowIedge that she kept a chiId from his rightful mother. Lonely Bianca loses her winning streak but finds comfort from a stranger. And Rhonda, tough yet achingly vulnerable, lets the children 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. |
