Love for nine-year-old twins Jon and Eden Hardacre is simple. Their mum, the creek that they swim in, each other, this is the love that they trust, love as clear and pure as sunlight, as honey, as water. But then there's a terrible accident. And in its wake, they develop a desperation, a yearning, to outgrow tragedy. They get older, compete with each other, fall in love with the same girl, and begin to realise that their lives, and who they love, demand something more. Something deeper. Richer.
