Summary
Danny, formerly Dhananjaya Rajaratnam, is an immigrant living undocumented in Sydney, Australia after being denied refugee status when he fled from Sri Lanka. Working as a cleaner and living out of a grocery storeroom, for three years he's been trying to create a new identity for himself. But then one morning, Danny learns a female client of his has been murdered, and he suspects that a local doctor did the deed. Suddenly Danny is confronted with a choice: come forward with his knowledge about the crime and risk being deported? Or say nothing, and let justice go undone? Evaluating the weight of his past, his dreams for the future, and the unpredictable, often absurd reality of living invisibly and undocumented, Danny must wrestle with his conscience and decide if a person without rights still has responsibilities
