Three men, David, Tony and Steve come from three different, but very average Australian upbringings. Each with a different set of values and morals learned from their childhood and teenage years. Each could be described as typical or average.
The story of these three men revolves around a period of one year when their attitudes and reactions to life are tested by pain, upheaval and dislocation. When these men are stripped of their family, home, love and security, the essence of each man is uncovered.
David and Tony become friends at a time of loss and bitterness, as they suffer the trauma of marriage breakdown. They share their bitterness with Steven, who has been striving to reform his life after a prison term. He has the new stability of job, and a woman who loves him. A court dispute between Steven and an old girlfriend, regarding maintenance payments, reignites his past attitudes towards women and life.
Steven uses the dispute as an excuse to return to his comfort of a selfish and criminal past. In his attempts to help his new friends, Tony and David, he entangles them, by finding them work with his new employer. A man suspected of involvement in theft, drugs and murder.
