Sixteen-year-old Jamie lives with his mother, Elizabeth, and
two younger brothers, Alex and Nicholas, in a housing trust home in Adelaide's
northern suburbs. Their home is but one of many sun-starved houses crammed
together to cater for a disenfranchised society. Jamie longs for an escape from
the violence and hopelessness that surrounds him and his salvation arrives in
the form of John, a charismatic man who unexpectedly comes to his aid. As John
spends more and more time with Jamie's family, Elizabeth and her boys begin to
experience a stability and sense of family that they have never known. John
moves from the role of Jamie's protector to that of a mentor, indoctrinating
Jamie into his world, a world brimming with bigotry, righteousness and malice.
Like a son mimicking his father, Jamie soon begins to take on some of John's
traits and beliefs as he spends more and more time with him and his select
group of friends.
