'The Road Behind' is a roller coaster ride through the seventies, eighties and nineties, as protagonist Mark Kidman traces a circuitous route from his childhood, in New Zealand and England, to fatherhood and impending middle age in Melbourne. It's told from a number of perspectives as it crisscrosses the Tasman, swirls around Sydney and Melbourne, digs into Central Australia and circles the globe.
A journey of self discovery, an adventure and a picaresque romp, 'The Road Behind' weaves through cities and outback, though the masculine and the feminine, though the dark side and the light side. Through sex and drugs and rock n roll, through life and death and an empty soul, Mark explores the physical space around him and the emotional space within. By journey's end, he's covered a lot of ground and come closer to himself, his family, his past, and his future.
