On a hot and sultry summer night in Melbourne, the talented tagger Thommy and his graffiti accomplice Aldo are on a nocturnal mission. When they get caught spray-painting a train, they are briefly separated. Thommy manages to escape the security guard but injures his hand in the process. Seeking help, he decides to steal bandages from a supermarket, but is caught by the cashier. When she makes a comment about his babyface, Thommy explodes in a fit of rage and leaves behind a trail of destruction.

Reuniting with Aldo, the two engage in a fierce power struggle, and Thommy’s sudden erection shocks them both. With coarse language, they try to cover up this moment of unexpected physical intimacy which brings them closer than ever before.
