Synopsis:

Jack Flange leaves the big city for a respite in Australia's Hawkesbury River region, where generations of oyster fishermen (and maybe one woman) have made a living, built histories, and piled up grievances. Jack finds a small-town mentality, with pluses and minuses. There's also a recent burglary and lots of missing cash. Jack gets a job oystering; his boss is separated from a woman of invention, Jack's attracted to a chambermaid turned letter carrier, and there are plenty of mine fields for a city boy to step through. Jack also has a sister, who's ill, to worry about. It's a river journey of self discovery. Is he passing through, or has he found home?

An inept thief, Jack Flange, leaves Sydney and goes to work for hard-up oyster farmers in the isolated Hawksbury River area. After stealing money which he posts to himself, the money ends up in the hands of one of his neighbours, and Jack is left pondering which neighbour has it.

A love story about a young man who runs away up an isolated Australian river and gets a job with eighth generation oyster famers.
