In the underbelly of a city that promised safety, an African refugee and a disowned Vietnamese immigrant must battle homelessness, prejudice, and their own inner demons to hold onto the only sanctuary they have left — each other.

After a civil war erupts, killing her entire family, 16-year-old Shade escapes to Australia on a refugee boat helmed by the captain of a people smuggling ring. The boat becomes lost at sea and, out of fuel, food and water, the refugees begin to die until a handful of them manage to land in an isolated part of Australia. Lost, desperate and fighting between themselves, only Shade, the captain and a young Rohingya refugee girl named Maiya are left alive to find civilisation and make Australia their new home.
