'In our multicultural world, when is blood thicker than water? And which blood is your truth? Angel is 17. He loves hanging out at the beach and catching a wave. Honey, the girl he is falling for, is an Anglo-Aussie like Ryder, his best mate through school. Angel's dad is a Muslim from Iraq, his mum a second generation Italian-Australian. When Ryder's older brother Jax is released from prison there is pressure on Angel to choose between his two worlds. Is he an 'Aussie' or a 'Muzzo'. Faced with betrayal, he must decide between his family and the world he thought he belonged to.' Source:www.riversideparramatta.com.au (Sighted 21/04/2008).
