After falling out with her Mum, sixteen-year old Tia hitchhikes down the country to find her father. But her plans are thwarted when she gets caught up in a nasty car accident. Her father refuses to take her in, instead telling her to go home and sort things out with her mother. But Tia has other plans.

A heartfelt story about a teenager searching to belong.
