Alfie runs away from his father, who bullies him because he won't take off his new rainbow socks or his mother's nightie - it is all he has left of her. His desperation to escape leads him to a desolate train station and a Kate Bush wannabe called Daphne. She drags him onto a train that shouldn't be there, transporting them to an unearthly destination, The Caravansary, a pit-stop to the wider universe. He is stranded in a strange world where inhabitants want to enslave, possess and even fatten him up. His only saviour is a bewitching hottie called Charisma Junt who looks good in everything he wears. Alfie soon becomes embroiled in a fiendish plot that could have dire consequences for humanity. How can an underachieving daydreamer, who spends far too much time in his own head, stop environmental terrorists and a psychotic real estate agent?
Midnight 13 is a destination; a place where people drink away their sorrows, seek out a new bed mate or simply pass through on their way to somewhere else. A lot can take place in twenty-four hours in this bar and to the lives of the people who frequent the establishment. Their lives intersecting as they search for love, redemption and sometimes a quick fuck during the course of a year. Come inside and meet an angry gay dance teacher being pursued by his student looking to lose his virginity, a vain bride going home with a woman after her hen's night, the fairest gay boy of them all unable to forget a past love, complete strangers looking for a quick fuck to escape their troubles, an ex-wife crashing her husband's wedding on the back of a hog, a woman who wakes up in bed with a cowboy and a bag of drugs, a gay teen looking for a father who isn't just a sperm donation and a new age mum returning to claim her son before capitalistic hell entraps her.
In aftermath of an environmental catastrophe, Australia is cut off from the rest of the world, controlled by a dictatorship that uses heavy-handed Enforcer squads to carry out their orders. Survivors live on supplement pills and rationed water with the threat of being sentence to a sexuality conversion camp or penal factories at the whim of the Enforcers. They live without light or heating, existing the best way they can in order to survive. Marlin Vickers, an escapee from a sexuality conversion camp, is trying to evade the Enforcer squads long enough to find the answer to one question, Why did the new government ban the consumption of food? That answer could lead to his freedom. This man's quest will bring new friends and enemies as he discovers a black market horror factory at an abandoned petrol station, a town ruled by children, a psychotic Bounty Hunter with an S & M fetish and an escaped tiger from old Dubbo Zoo. Yet, his biggest threat, Enforcer Squad Commander Angelic Roth, is setting a trap to stop his snooping and possibly give her the ultimate orgasm.
