"Richard is a young writer running from his hometown of Perth in search of a freer existence in Melbourne. His best friend is an ex-boxer turned black marketeer and his girlfriend is an old-fashioned "tart" with heart. Against the background of post-war censorship and isolation, Richard struggles to find cultural nourishment.
