SYNOPSIS
The mini TV series is set in 1980s Brisbane, Australia. A boy and his mute brother embark on a suburban odyssey of love and redemption, facing the dramas of growing up in a family involved in crime and revenging the drug lord who tore their family apart. The graphics for this series are a playful mixture of fictional elements based on the era and the recreation of realistic Brisbane’s staples in the 80s.
