Genre: Drama
Running Time: 90 minutes

In a small New Zealand town, 16 year-old Michael (Jordan Selwyn) leads a lonely, introverted existence with his single mother Amelia (Rebecca Gibney- Channel 7's Packed to the Rafters) whose guilt and alcoholism threatens to drive her cherished son away. Uncomfortable with the adolescent exploits of his 'friends', he finds escape through a passionate love of maps.

Unexpected friendships with classmate Alison (Maikaila Hutchinson), whose sweetness and innocence belie a dark secret, and Mary (Bonnie Soper), a blind young woman on the cusp of adulthood, rouse Michael from his isolation and send him on a journey of self-discovery. As his life begins to spiral out of control, Michael is forced into some difficult choices about the course of his life.

Director Harold Brodie has spun a haunting and tender coming-of-age story which features standout performances by newcomers, Jordan Selwyn and Mikaila Hutchinson and acclaimed Australian actress Rebecca Gibney.
