Matiu Douglas is a boy in crisis. Living with his working father in a smoke house after his parents divorced thirteen months ago. His mother living in Taupo, teaching a school in the area. Matiu is getting ready for his nana Wais funeral at the marae, his father is still working and they are becoming late. “Hi, dad” “Hiya” Tama Douglas, the father, was still working at his desk - looking up and down his son he frowned “ Go and get dressed. You’re not going to Nanny Wai’s funeral looking like that.” Matiu had changed into a suit and went back to his father, but not going inside - instead, he listened. His father was talking to someone on the phone. “Certainly… “ Tama Douglas said nervously. And in just the thought of Matiu encouraging his father to hang up, the man behind the call and his father had struck a deal. Things won’t go well from now, and all he has right now is a necklace his father wouldn’t wear and a tight suit.
