It’s just a regular morning for the White family, yet in the hustle and bustle of getting off to school and work, little do they know that at day’s end, life will never be the same again.

After a humiliating day at work and an alcohol-fuelled meltdown in front of his colleagues, Tom White (Colin Friels) stumbles around a darkened city alone and out of his mind. He cannot face his wife (Rachael Blake) or his perfect suburban life.

In the blink of an eye, this ordinary man slips into the urban underclass, concentric worlds that will be dark and weird, thrilling and dangerous.

On the street, Tom encounters others living this alternate life: Matt (Daniel Spielman) a rent boy who offers him a bed and a party; Christine (Loene Carmen) the lonely ex-junkie with whom he has a brief and intense affair; Malcolm (Bill Hunter) the grandiose denizen of the streets who takes Tom under his wing; and Jet (Jarryd Jinks) a young wiry skateboarder strikes up a friendship with the now grizzled Tom.

Then Tom’s identity is exposed and he must decide if he has enough courage to end the odyssey and return home.
