It’s election day in contemporary New Zealand. A psychologist’s political stand threatens to see him driven from the university community; a young father confronts a teenage burglar; a staffroom argument flares up; a young girl sets about mending her broken heart, and Richard, a biology lecturer, must deal with the secret that compels them all.
