- In a small New Zealand town, 16 year-old Michael leads a lonely, introverted existence with his single mother Amelia whose guilt and alcoholism threatens to drive her cherished son away. Uncomfortable with the adolescent exploits of his "friends," he finds escape through a passionate love of maps. Unexpected friendships with classmate Alison, whose sweetness and innocence belie a dark secret, and Mary, a blind young woman on the cusp of adulthood, rouse Michael from his isolation and send him on a journey of self-discovery. As his life begins to spiral out of control, Michael is forced into some difficult choices about his future.
- Matty Paparoa goes by many names. Brought up rough in foster homes and gangs, they called him Kid Loko, later shortened to Loko. After jail, he found notoriety as rapper 'KD Lok' in the hip hop scene before he lost it all, after being placed in the mental health system after losing his daughter. For the last seven years, Matty's been homeless in a bush hut on the fringe of heaven in Titirangi. Becoming part of the community, Matty sets out on a journey to recover his past, reconnecting with his Maori identity and reigniting his music career. The rise, fall, and redemption of 'Loko' is a story of music, mental health, and Maoritanga.
