Synopsis

A fictional play inspired by true events that occurred in a south western NSW town.

A group of kids battle with their local council to get a skatepark built in their home town of Narragindi.

In the midst of this struggle they are forced to deal with the sudden death of one of their friends.

Ultimately, after being galvanised into making one last effort, they meet with success.

The skatepark is built and the local youth find a renewed sense of pride and self esteem.
