In the early 1970s, a theatre collective - the Australian Performing Group - based itself in a building called the Pram Factory, now synonymous with the people and events that laid the groundwork for a renaissance in Australian culture. The Pram was a ‘scene’, a 24-hour happening, a radical alternative to the mainstream. Those who lived and worked at the Pram expected the world to come to them - and for a while it did.

A businessman in white shirt and tie drives alone on an isolated country road. He swerves for a passing truck and the result is a blowout. As he's changing the tire, an unseen assailant knocks him out. He awakes a few yards from the road, a large snake directly in front of him. The car's gone.
