He, who can’t keep going on in such an environment, is a victim. The hard rules in this urban jungle also apply to the family of Beth (Rena Owen) and Jake (Temuera Morrison). Beth is a proud woman with Maori-blood who is thrown back deeper after each attempt she undertakes to get her family out of this situation, whereas Jake reconcile to the facts and makes everything even more worse because of his drinking problems and aggression.
