Forty-three-year-old Mary Horton lives in a quiet, middle-class suburb on Sydney's North Shore.

Tim Melville is a twenty-five-year-old labourer with the body and face of a Greek god, but the mind of a child. A gentle outcast in a cruel, unbending world, Tim has a loving family, but is often derided and taken advantage of by his so-called friends.
