A reluctant Filipino migrant takes a savage journey of life in Australia, working two jobs and surviving on a diet of weed, booze and little else
Tony is one of millions of Filipinos scattered across the globe, working to send money back to his family. But unlike other migrants, he's no pushover at work and doesn't live in fear of losing his visa.
Squatting in the office with an Irish co-worker to save money, Tony hustles as a web designer and battles with a ball-busting Scottish boss during the day. At night, he washes away the loneliness and fights the enormous pressure with booze and weed, saving most of what he earns to send back home.
But the money from all the hard work never seems to be enough.
Tony's life as a migrant begins to unravel as events come to a head, and he's forced to face the consequences of his actions.
