Alex returns to New Zealand after the sudden death of his parents, from whom he was estranged after a life of privilege but emotional neglect. With his twin sister Amy he sets off on a road trip the length of State Highway One, from Cape Reinga to Stewart Island – a journey of grief, self discovery and reconciliation. This is a powerful story of two siblings trying to make sense of their upbringing, picking apart the things which brought them to this point, and desperately wanting it all to be OK. Set against a landscape we know so well, the places on their journey down our national highway have a familiarity which brings this story very close to home.
