A small Australian town.
The story of an outlaw family.

Locals see disabled ex-biker George Maskey as a hollow braggard; largely responsible for the drug-related crime and death their town has experienced over the years.
His wife blames him for the death of their teenage twins. His gay step son regards him as a racist and homophobe.
While, Serenade Theadora – the town’s famed mystic – sees him in equal parts, good and bad.

But patriarch, George, is not the star of this story.

When Rodney, the family’s loyal right-hand man, is kidnapped by service-station proprietor, Gayle Reynolds – in a bungled revenge against his boss – events are set in train that will see the troubled family, changed forever.

A love-starved reader of romance novels, physical runt, dreamer, killer: Rodney has lived in a forest on The Knuckle, tending the Maskey marijuana plantation since the death of his mother when he was just a boy. Gayle Reynolds welcomes her capture of him as an opportunity to learn the whereabouts of her missing son, Duncan: Rodney’s childhood best friend. And for Rodney, his kidnap risks becoming unbearably triggering.

Until he meets Leanne.

She is the girl who brings him his meals. And in her, the unattractive outcast, who has despaired of ever finding love, meets a person he could risk everything for.
