What if your parents held a dark  secret for a long, long time, that if you knew, would irreversibly change the place you hold for yourself in the world? This happened to Andrew, a musician, living happily in Broken Hill, New South Wales, with his partner Julia, and young son, Ben. A surprise revelation by his recently widowed mother, Rose, sets off a chain of chaotic events as Andrew searches for answers, which leave a young tourist dead on the side of the road in the harsh Australian Outback. JM Agius takes us on a journey of one family across Australia, starting in Perth, where as a young mother, Rose reaches the end of her tether and help comes too late. This is a story of love, loyalty, and the struggles of living with imperfection.
