A brilliant contemporary YA coming-of-age novel about three small-town Aboriginal friends finding their way towards adulthood. In the idyllic coastal town of Carraway's Point, four Aboriginal boys grew up together on Chopin Drive, carefree and close. But they drifted apart in high school, and everything changed forever the night Brandon was killed by a white cop. Now racial tension is brewing, and each boy must wrestle with grief and their own complicated lives. Kallum has lost his sport scholarship and must return from Sydney. Jordy contends with family responsibilities and a closeted boyfriend. Dylan was the only witness to Brandon's death, and he must testify in court. Struggling to contain their emotions and process the murder of their friend, Kallum, Jordy and Dylan must navigate explosive events in a way that opens up a future they can't yet see.
