Plot
In this undistinguished coming-of-age drama, Riki Nathan (Mitchell Manuel) has been sent to a boys' reform school and has to handle the vagaries of good and bad inmates as best he can. The young teens, mostly Maoris, only want to get out of there any way they can and go home, especially Willie (Junior Amigo) who has some unfortunate run-ins with the resident bully Karl (Nicholas Rogers). Riki resists getting into a scrape with Karl until Willie's misfortunes at Karl's hand make the showdown inevitable.
