SYNOPSIS
In Auckland suburbia late 60's, Alice (16) uses Dylan(17) to escape the suffocation of a caustic family life, which tips her into a desperate spiral for attachment. So after a failed blood pact, and a bungled burglary, Alice reconsiders the consequences of her reckless agenda and its almost irretrievable toll. Only her grandmother Grace, leaves a door open for her. With her mother Shirley occupied with Johnny, and her father Lionel lost in past wars, Alice uses her invisibility to live in a space of deception. But Dylan's motives indirectly expose a family hornets nest of lies and neglect, and the ordered dysfunction of the family is forever disrupted. As Alice searches for a way out, she is left to question how to live with her decisions, when it seems easier... not to live at all.
