The story

In the poor Adelaide suburb of Salisbury, 16-year-old Jamie lives with his distressed mother, Elizabeth Harvey (Louise Harris), and his brothers—including half-brother Troy, who rapes Jamie. One day, his mother's boyfriend takes indecent photographs of the boys. When the police are reluctant to intervene, Elizabeth is contacted by Barry, a gay cross-dressing man who introduces her to John.
