| Description: |
Sam Sullivan is unsettled and restless. He's in trouble at school, his parents have split up and there's never enough money. Whilst busking in the market, he finds himself taken back in time to 1900, where he finds new friends, adventures and opportunities; and a great-uncle he never knew he had. |
| Synopsis: |
Things unravel so fast. One day Sam is a kid with a straightforward life, next moment he's sucked into a time warp and flung back a hundred years. Meeting Flea, Gertie and the gang is just the start of a crazy adventure with Sam on the run from police, sleeping outside the morgue, laying bets on horse races, fighting thieves and larrikins. An accident in a shooting gallery confronts Sam with the hardest decision he's ever had to make. Can he change the past - and his own future?Market Blues is a fast-moving drama about city kids then and now, about change, choice and responsibility. |
