The series "depicts political duplicity and the disintegration of a family in the Port Moresby settlements". Its central characters are parents who attempt, unsuccessfully, to look after their sick child.[1] Takaku has stated that the parents' characters represent the Papua New Guinean government, while the child represents the nation.[3]
