Denny Tran suffered a bad death in Cabramatta, Australia. Bad luck, muttered the local community. Ky (his older sister who is also a reporter) is angry and looks to name what happened and change this narrative around hate murders.

"The Tran family cared, they're just hollowed out"
Ky reflects on how grief plays out across cultural boundaries and expectations. When Ky gets a chance to look into Dennys death more closely, she cannot resist.

Ky visits those who was present on the night of Dennys death to try to piece together what happened and why everyone did not see anything. We learn through the eyes of Lulu (a child who just wanted a king crab after coming first on her termly tests for over a year), Sharon (Ky and Denny's high school teacher who went to the dinner that night), Fiona (a singer for the resturant where Denny was killed), Hanh (Denny and Ky's Father), Minnie (Ky's best friend).

"She didn't think her Mother saw what she saw, understood the things she understood, felt the sympathy and compassion and enormous love..."
This was a delicate story of a family who lost their Son, and Brother. Lien has beautifully humanised Denny, Ky, and her Family but also develops the characters and settings to perfectly capture small town mentality.

We should name what has happened to us, because this gives voice to the unjust, and we can begin to process and heal.
