'At times, life seems brutal to Wayne. His mum and dad have been best enemies since they broke up, he thinks he loves Mandy but she loves Phillip, and his best mate Den is a serious health hazard. Even if Wayne survives the booby-traps and accidents that face him, Den could still get them both killed.
But no matter what the odds, Wayne has a whole lot of living to do. He's determined not 'to rot in the hot sand like a lone dead seagull.'
