Brisbane, 1975: Andie Tanner’s world is small but whole. Her mum is complicated, but she adores her dad and the kennel of racing greyhounds that live under their house. Andie is a serious girl with plans: finish school with her friends, then apprentice to her father until she can become a greyhound trainer, with dogs of her very own.

But real life rarely goes to plan, and the world is bigger and more complicated than Andie could imagine. When she loses everything she cares about – her family, her friends, the dogs – it’s up to Andie to reclaim her future. She will need all her wits to survive this new reality of secrets and half-truths, addictions and crime.

In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Toni Jordan about how her varied work history found its way in this story, how the triangulation of mother, father and daughter shapes relationships and character, and how we are all truly children in adult form.
