Luc Vu is a young Vietnamese Australian man in western Sydney’s Yagoona, driven by a deep love for rugby league. He’s unemployed after a factory closure and also the sole caregiver for his 11-year-old sister, Anne, following their mother’s death two years prior. After a disappointing job interview as a Holden car salesman, his day takes another turn when the Department of Community Services case worker, Alison Berry, arrives with troubling news: Anne’s primary school has filed a complaint about truancy and unpaid school fees, and Luc must defend himself in court. The pressure is intensified by his grandfather, Grandad, a Vietnam War veteran who does not accept failure or loss.
