A girl and her mother have been on the run for sixteen years, from the monster they left in their kitchen with a knife in his throat and the police who want to make them pay. Home is now a van with four flat tires in a junkyard by the edge of a river. The girl has no name, because names are dangerous when you're on the run. But she has a vision of a life as an artist. A life outside the grip of the Brisbane underworld. A life of love with the boy who's waiting for her on the bridge above the deadly river. And once her mother can no longer protect her, there's only one person who can help her realize her dreams. That person is Lola. But she has to find her first.
