Learned Behaviours

Zaid Saban is a prospective barrister on the verge of the life he has always wanted. His professional and social world is a long way from the schoolyards of western Sydney where he grew up, and even further from the traumatic events of his final year at school, when his best friend, Hass, was arrested for murder. Zaid believes he has left all that behind. Then Hass's sister, Amira, tracks him down and asks him to read her brother's diary. The request drags him back into the world he escaped and raises a question he never wanted to face: could Hass have been innocent? As Amira and Zaid try to work out what really happened all those years ago, Zaid has to confront the ugly parts of his past and what they mean for the man he has become.
