| Summary |
In a poor suburb of Auckland, Jake and Beth Heke live a life defined by drunken parties, unstable friendships and confrontations with authorities. Jake, a complex man with a rascal's charm, is weighted down by a quick temper, alcoholism, and an evil strak of male entitlement. Beth's beauth has been scarred by broken dreams and Jake's beefy fists. Yet her inner strength and desire to save her family make her the solid center around which this story of tragedy and hope is constructed |
