When George Apirana arrives home to her state house apartment block on her fourteenth birthday looking forward to having a dinner date with her mother, she ends up getting rejected in favour of her mother’s new male companion.
Unwittingly thrown into the night with no money and no particular place to be, George’s “life sucks so get used to it” philosophy is cracked by a six year old’s unexpected gesture of generosity and kindness.
