Haunting memories of youth converge as two brothers come to terms with their chequered past in Erskineville Kings, a powerful tale of sibling rivalry and hard-earned respect. Narrowly escaping his father's alcoholic fuelled tirades, young Barky (Marty Denniss) flees home to cut sugar cane in Northern Australia. Returning home two years later to attend the funeral of his father, he attempts to make amends with his estranged brother Wace (Hugh Jackman,The Wolverine, Les Miserables) and catch up with ex-girlfriend Lanny (Leah Vandenberg, Turkey Shoot).  But revisiting the streets of old and the friends of the past will prove to be a journey of heartache and great personal pain.
