[edit] Plot

Tagline: Tom is on a little vacation from reality.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Tom White (played by Colin Friels) is an architect who then chooses to make himself homeless. Outwardly, he has all the signs of a successful life — new home, loving family, successful but stressed career. However, it soon becomes clear that not everything is as it appears at work. Tom chooses a different path and cuts ties with his normal life. He has chosen the margins, where those he meets, in spite of their position, have enormous self-dignity — the rent-boy, the ex-junkie, the gentlemanly tramp and the fourteen-year-old graffiti artist. Tom goes on a journey of his own and plumbs the society, yet he overcomes and discovers his own dignity and understanding of who he is.
