Plot
A young boy growing up in the suburbs of 1980s Brisbane faces the harsh realities of life — and the looming dangers that threaten his family.
In 1985 Brisbane, Eli Bell's life is complicated enough: a lost father, a mute brother, a junkie mum, a heroin-dealer stepfather, and a notorious crim for a babysitter. He's just trying to follow his heart and understand what being a good man means, but fate keeps throwing obstacles in his way, including legendary Brisbane drug dealer Tytus Broz. Now Eli's life will get a whole lot more serious: he's about to meet the father he doesn't remember, break into Boggo Road Gaol on Christmas Day to rescue his mum, come face-to-face with the criminals who tore his world apart, and fall in love with the girl of his dreams.
