Omschrijving
The Australian outback is vast, red, and merciless. A place where silence stretches longer than the horizon and secrets weigh heavier than the heat. For sixteen-year-old hitchhiker Sam, it's not just a road north he's chasing, but an escape from memories too dark to outrun.
After the slow death of his mother to cancer, and a violent encounter in Perth that left blood on his hands, Sam takes to Route 1 with nothing but a battered pack, a scarf that still carries his mother's scent, and the kind of guilt that gnaws in the quiet hours of night. Each passing car leaves him choking in dust and rejection—until a grizzled truck driver with eyes like the desert sky brakes hard and offers him a ride.
As the road train trundles through endless red dirt and ghost towns, an unlikely bond forms between the weary old man and the haunted boy. Their conversations crack open wounds neither has spoken of for years—loss, loneliness, survival—and yet the silence between them says even more. But the outback isn't empty. It watches. It remembers. And the past has a way of catching up, no matter how far north you run.
Haunting, atmospheric, and unflinchingly human, Outback Silence is a story of grief, guilt, and the desperate search for redemption. Set against the raw, unforgiving beauty of Western Australia, this is a journey through dust, memory, and the echoes we can't escape.
