Description Ka pu te ruha, ka hao te rangatahi. The old net is cast aside and the new net goes fishing. London. Auckland. Gisborne. Whero Mahana is a musician with songs of grit and tears pulsing through her veins. In London to chase a dream far away from New Zealand, she is presented with a diary that confirms her longing for home. As the lines between her past and present fracture, her father s stories force Whero to make painful choices about where her dreams really lie.
