Synopsis
Emma, a mother at fifteen, now in her early twenties, wants some kind of normality for her two daughters. Local gold dealer Ray tries to steer an addict son back towards harness racing. Barry, single father and ex-youth worker, keeps an eye on the streets and encourages his son's interest in ferrets. "You used to come across the kids you worked with in the court round-ups--you're getting them in the obituaries now," he observes. When, one last time, Emma tries to get her partner Darren off heroin, Barry is drawn into a chain of events that begins to threaten the relationship he has built with his son. Beyond the edges of the mainstream economy, gold chains can be more useful than savings accounts; bad decisions have hard consequences; but people keep going, trying to construct new lives, watching their children.
