Fourteen compassionate stories, from high society to the lowest, set at the fringes of reality where dreams prey on people’s lives. These highly engrossing and often humorous stories immerse you in an intriguing variety of lives touched by obsession, prejudice, poverty, Asian voodoo, desire and lust, love, violence, crime and madness, false confidence and unfounded fears.

A cast of quirky characters collide in ambiguous situations, pressured by racial friction and religious divisions, financial and family tensions, unhappy love affairs and life-changing conflicts:
-a photographer's life-long devotion to a powerful journalist wins out against her taste for pretty young men
- an ambitious gigolo enters a beautiful and violent world of immense wealth, reverse racism, drug-popping chauffers, private jets, cops on the payroll and murder victims falling out of the sky…
- a scruffy barefoot romantic pursues a decrepit crone protected by a swarm of hungry orphans...
- a junkie finds friendship in a fashionable mystery-lady at a funeral....
- a captive man lives in fear of a psychopathic neighbour’s fire-breathing dog....
- an ambitious doctor walks cheerfully through a remote village to perform a politically-sensitive abortion but life has other plans....
- a free and sometimes easy woman is used to repay a husband’s debt to his brother....
- the marriage of a devoutly religious couple is shattered by a dope-smoking brother-in-law until prayers are answered in flames....
- a frigid TV beauty seeks sanctuary in a mirror to escape the nightmare of life's senseless cruelty....
- a high-ranking French cop in a Mediterranean resort village cannot understand why the woman of his dreams falls under the spell of a murder suspect....
- an Australian family divided by political prejudices fights the Cold War across their kitchen table, prior to the downfall of the Communist Party....
- an aged literary-minded patron of prostitutes rebels against his feminist wife in a misogynist fiasco....
- a highly-educated toilet attendant pursues a cunning one-legged woman, despite being stalked by the corpse of her dead husband…
And – an Australian war veteran unleashes havoc in Bangkok to escape the clutches of the Thai underworld.
