It's Friday, KFC night and the last day of school before Christmas. Kyle, Jessie and baby brother Troy are waiting in the car for their mum. As night approaches the car park takes on a dark and sinister aspect filled with strange and familiar characters. The shopping centre closes, Mum still hasn't returned and the baby won't stop crying.%##CHAR13##%%##CHAR13##%Exploring issues of poverty and family violence, Hoods is a suburban tale of survival and solidarity against the odds.
