Aboriginal teenagers Samson (Rowan McNamara) and Delilah (Marissa Gibson) live in an isolated community in the Central Australian desert, struggling and making do. Samson is a lost soul, occasionally sniffing petrol. He has eyes for Delilah, who looks after her Nana (Mitjili Napanangka Gibson), who paints - until she dies. Delilah is held responsible and Samson comes to her aid - but he's is also in trouble. They leave the community together - and arrive in Alice Springs, a place no safer than their community. They shelter under a bridge in the town's dry river bed and Samson's sniffing (and isolation) accelerates. Delilah is traumatized by two terrible events and their future seems bleak.
