Notes

Twins Justine and Perry are on a road trip. Three weeks from turning eighteen, they watched their beloved dad lose his battle with cancer. A year later, the twins remain defined by their symbiotic bond: sole, at-home carer Justine; and disabled, extra-sensory Perry. But with Justine thinking of resuming her interrupted studies and Perry having been accepted into an assisted-living residence, their reliance on each other is set to shift. Before they go their separate ways, the twins seek to create a perfect memory, embarking on a two-week adventure in the Pacific Northwest. For Perry, the trip is a glorious celebration of his favourite interests: mythical sea monsters, Jackie Chan movies and the study of earthquakes. For Justine, it's a chance to reconcile the decision to 'free' her twin u and to offer their long-absent mother, Leonie, the chance to atone for past wrongs. But the instability that has shaped their lives will not subside. There are tears when Justine decides to end her relationship with boyfriend Marc, who's back in Brisbane but wants to be heard. A ruse perpetrated on the streets of Seattle sees Perry alone and distressed at the West Precinct police station. And in Vancouver, Leonie's sincere but flawed efforts to connect with her children jeopardises their family reunion. Then the seismic event that 'Master Disaster' Perry forewarned threatens to reduce all their worlds to rubble.
