From the moment Lola meets Kua, she knows her world is about to be turned upside down. Lola is catapulted into Aboriginal culture and the heart of Australia, Alice Springs. The sometimes taciturn, the sometimes beautifully expressive Kua revitalises Lola, offering a way out of the isolation and the frustration that she is immersed in with her bitchy girl-pals, Paris and Jasmin. Always feeling like an outsider around Paris and Jasmin, whose antics rarely amount to more than nightclub-trotting and men-grabbing escapades, Lola is destined to find escape, and perhaps love, with Kua.
