After a courtship filled with coincidences and 11 years of marriage,
Rebecca and Peter Sukhimov are
completely & utterly in love.

But when her Pete suddenly dies
Rebecca is left to make sense of
a world seemingly without meaning.

Until, at Peter's funeral,

After a courtship filled with coincidences—and 11 years of marriage—
Rebecca and Peter Sukhimov are completely & utterly in love.

But when her Pete suddenly dies, Rebecca is left to
make sense of a world seemingly without meaning.

Until, at Peter's funeral, a file is dropped into her lap—
 a file containing only 3 nonsensical phrases...








To decipher its cryptic contents,
Rebecca finds herself being helped
—mostly against her will—
by both sides of her family.

Peter's father, Arsen Sukhimov,
got his young children out of Ukraine to
in Melbourne start a crane-rental
business he called 'U-Crane'.

Alexa, Peter's younger sister, is sick and tired of being used as her father's
naked business-bait.

And Yuri, Peter's unhinged brother;
who learned English from watching
The King And I on VHS,
and who, because of a dream,
knows that his brother was murdered...

As for Rebecca's immediate family...

Her father, Geoff, longs to find someone with whom he can retire,
but seems to only meet women with pea fetishes and sects addictions.

Annie, Rebecca's daughter,
is increasingly drawn to the rebellious Ukrainian side of her family.  

While her brother, Mel,
accidentally smuggles gum out of Singapore then in Melbourne gets approached by a tracksuited Ukrainian—who tells him that his brother-in-law was better at smuggling
gun than he was.

— 'Wait, gun or gum?' —
