Overview
Lena, a light-skinned Aboriginal girl growing up in a remote Australian outpost, runs away from her indigenous family in search of her Irish father, while Vaughn, a Murri boy living in an isolated prison, decides to escape his sentence and head towards Sydney. With no money nor means of transport, they’re thrown together as they venture into the unknown, and discover that they have more in common than they realise.
