Tessa returns to her childhood home - a house haunted by emotional memories. But how to return home after all those years away? What's home after all? A house? A place? A family? Set on the shores of Botany Bay close to where Captain Cook landed, VACANT POSSESSION tells a story of two families - one black, one white - both living in the shadow of the past. Weaving dream, memory and fantasy, it is the story of conflict and the complexities of reconciliation.
