STRANGERS IN BETWEEN

Shane has fled his family and is seeking refuge in Sydney’s Kings Cross. Confused and naïve, he meets two strangers: the ultra-urban Will, who offers brotherhood, sex and something unexpected; and Peter, a fifty-year-old gay man whose mother is dying in a nursing home. With their help – or hindrance – Shane grapples to reconcile himself with events from his past. But how can he move on when he can’t even use laundry powder?
