Amy is the only daughter of famous (and dead) rock star Will Enker (Nick Cave) and his partner Tanya Rammus (Rachel Griffiths). As a young child on the road she witnessed the tragic death of her father, and since that night has been deaf.
Tanya wants to discover what is wrong with her daughter - because in all other ways she is a free-spirited angelic child. Social services are not so understanding, and so in an attempt to gain time to help Amy, Tanya goes into hiding in one of the inner city suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. In the street they end up on we meet a group of dysfunctional characters, including Robert Buchanan (Ben Mendelsohn), a starving but talented musician. In the process of 'finding' Amy, this group of dysfunctional people are bought together.
Keep an eye out for the singing coppers
