註釋

It is 1966 in Port Moresby, a town of extremes, at once constricted and libertine, the tension between the black and white communities barely contained. Tension of another kind exists in the marriage of Virginia Rich and her husband, Ted, a well-liked local businessman. Still haunted by the ghosts of a strange and dislocated childhood and a failed, unhappy love affair. Virginia has come to a crisis point in her life. A lack of real communication between them hides from both Virginia and Ted the full extent of the collapse their marriage has been in for some time. Over a single weekend, shocking events force the Riches to confront reality. The reality of their married life together. The reality of a place where the while man believes himself to be the undisputed master. In the aftermath of chain of events that seems almost to be predestined, as one thing triggers another, the lives of Ted and Virginia Rich of Port Moresby will change. And those lives will never be the same again.
