A woman arrives home unexpectedly to find a scene so shocking that it causes her to lose all reason. She embarks on a road trip across Australia, from Brisbane to Broome, indulging in uncharacteristic behaviour that becomes more degrading and dangerous the further she travels. In a strange contradiction, people she has never met begin to tell her about defining events in their lives. Realising the important messages these stories contain, Janine records each one in writing, intending to publish them in a single volume. This project is her only hope of staying grounded in reality. Is this enough to save this sensitive and creative woman?
