In a tiny desolate town, there is only one road in and out. A fair skinned, blue eyed teenage girl rejects the Indigenous blood of her mother for the blood of her Irish father. A teenage Indigenous boy spends all of his time in a plantation pine forest. Years of incarceration have moulded a tough exterior and separated him from any love. The two find themselves together alone, with no money, and no transport. Over a period of twenty four hours these two hardened souls come together and hitchhike on a lone highway to Sydney where they unwillingly affect their self-identity and inner feelings.
