Ain't nothing wrong with being broken. Nothing at all. You're like these houses, not a whole brick in em and look how strong they are. As Tess traces the sunrise over the floodplains, light that paints the house a startling crimson, she yearns for the comforting chaos of life as it once was. Instead of Max and Sonny tracking dirt through the kitchen - Tess and Richard's 'rainbow twins' - Tess absorbs the quiet. The nights draw in, the soil cools and Richard fights to get his winter crops planted rather than deal with the discussion he cannot bear to have. Secrets and vines clamber over the broken red bricks and although its inhabitants seem to be withering, in the damp, crumbling soil - Sonny knows it - something is stirring . . . As the seasons change, and the cracks let in more light, the family might just be able to start to heal. This is the story of a broken family, what they see and what they cannot say laid bare in their overlapping perspectives. It is a tale of life in the cracks, because in the space for acceptance, of passing and of laying to rest, the possibilities of new energy, light and love, are seeded.

Jennifer Jones was the gangly, weird-looking one at school, the girl none of the boys crushed on, and none of the girls understood. Jennifer has wanted to escape her eccentric control freak of a mother and her boring judgemental peers at school for as long as she can remember. And then it happens. When Jen and her only friend Stevie are shopping, Jen is picked up and told she’s got what it takes to be a model. Edgy, unconventional, gloriously tall. From her life-changing encounter with young paparazzi princess, Natalie, on the beach in the West Indies, Jen tells her story in flashback—from gawky modeling ingénue to seasoned and lonely supermodel. As her story closes, Jen is on her way out of Channel Z studios, having just given her last ever interview as a model, she collides with a young, eager looking guy of around her age who appears awestruck at meeting her face to face. He wants her advice and all she can tell him is what she has learned during her time in the public eye. "Smash and grab," she says sagely. "Look after Number One . . . nobody else will do it for you."
