Summary: Teenager Jaxie Clackton has been raised by his drunken, abusive father and persevering mother in small-town Western Australia. After his mother's death from cancer, he's left alone with his father's brutality. When his father dies accidentally while repairing a car, an incident Jaxie fears will be blamed on him, he sets out for the back county on a desperate journey toward his cousin Lee, with whom he's romantically entangled. Hiking for days, he comes to a dry salt lake where he once camped with his father. Wandering away from the abandoned cabin where he's holed up, he's surprised by the presence of another human being-the disgraced priest Fintan MacGillis, who has been exiled to a solitary life for reasons he won't divulge. The two form an unlikely friendship of need until Jaxie's discovery of a nearby marijuana growing operation upends their existence together.
