Mackenzie's counsellor thinks her ability 'to create and sustain healthy relationships is hampered by her negative attitude'. And no wonder. A teenage daughter of drug-damaged parents has little reason to trust other people, or even herself. Alone in the bush one night, as part of a camp for 'youths with potential', Mackenzie relives the life that has brought her to this moment when she must confront her demons - not least the terrifying Red Man. Defiant, defensive, but struggling towards the truth, she peels back layers of self-deception to face a difficult choice about her future.
What will this city girl discover about herself and her place in the world?
