Joey is young, indifferent. He's drifting around Western Sydney unaware of how his passivity might lead him even further adrift, off the rails, into a violent crime. Meanwhile his grandmother Elaine - a proud Lebanese woman - tries to save face and hold herself together in the wake of Joey's actions. In her family, history repeats itself, vices come and go and uncovering long-buried secrets isn't always cathartic. This gripping and hard-hitting story reveals the richness and complexity of contemporary Australian life and tests the idea that facing consequences will make us better people
