About

Alice is eight years old and living in a yurt in the far north of China. Her dad, John, scouts for oil. He is two days late in coming home from his latest trip. Alice and her mother, Ming, haven’t heard from him. They are worried. While she and her mum go out searching for her dad, Alice turns to her ba-xi player and her virtual friend Brad for comfort. They drive for a long time. Suddenly, Alice hears Brad’s voice in her head saying ‘go that way.’
