'It's the 1930's in Australia and the O'Casey family is feeling the pinch of the Depression. Daniel, Adelaide and Lydia's father has lost his job and cannot find another in their town, so he takes to the road to look for work. Daniel is now the man of the family and tries to stay out of trouble, though it isn't easy with his friend Bede only too willing to drag him into it. As Daniel tries to navigate the world without his father, and with an ever-shrinking family income, he learns the importance of honesty and the real value of family.' (Introduction)
