'There’s something different about my body. It's like the missing piece of a jigsaw you can’t take your eyes off. If I were to take off my shirt you wouldn’t see my face, freckles or ratty hair. All you’d see is the hole in the middle of my chest.’
Jack is a typical seventeen year-old going to high school in Queensland. He surfs, fixes up cars, plays footy with his mates and is having trouble with girls. Only one problem – Jack has a hole in the middle of his chest – pectus excavatum (PE).
A story about footy, cars, and a young man who discovers that revealing his greatest secret is the only way to hold on to the people he loves.
