'You want to hear a story?'
'Eh?'
'This town, it's full of stories. Some Aboriginal, some white, some Malay and Indonesian. All sorts of different ideas. I reckon you might need to hear on of them.'
When the court sent Jamie Riley to Port Barren, he hadn't expected much - thought he'd just serve his time and get out. He hadn't counted on being drawn into the town's murky past, into a web of secrets, lies and murder which might well cost him much more than just his freedom.
This is the story of a boy's journey to reveal a buried secret, and of a town too scared of its past to face its future.
It's a story for anyone who dreams . . .
