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.
