To Bani Adam, Punchbowl Boys High School in western Sydney is the most hopeless place on earth. He is a Leb like the boys who rule it, yet he feels apart from them, a romantic among hypermasculine classmates who taunt him for thinking he is better than them. Facing power games, cultural friction and the violent attitudes to women around him, he has to find where he belongs in a hostile world while longing for something more.
