Synopsis - Love can be difficult at the best of times. BLACKTOWN is a disarmingly honest tale of love-against-the-odds. Niki, an office worker has the worst luck with men. When a date turns sour an Aboriginal bus driver called Tony rescues her from being dragged into a car, but then insists on walking her home. From these tense beginnings we then follow a tentative romance between two lost souls searching for a way through life's emotional confusion.
