Description

When a paramedic on a late shift comes across a dead teenager, it brings back a rush of adolescent memories. Breath charts the stories of Piklet and Loonie as they push the boundaries as boys often do, pitting themselves against Western Australia's biggest surf. A story of isolation, lust, salt and growing up.

First Sentence

We come sweeping up the tree-lined boulevard with sirens and lights and when the GPS urges us to make the next left we take it so fast that all the gear slams and sways inside the vehicle.
