Out on parole after serving over eight years in prison, Sera Olin can’t shake her past. As a child travelling around America, her charismatic father introduced her to a life of crime, easy cons and fixed card games before they escaped to Australia to go straight—but walking the line isn’t that easy for Sera. As she tries to settle into an honest life in Sydney, all she wants is to see her estranged daughter, Lena. But Lena is grown up now, and involved with people far worse than Sera understands.

When Sera is drawn further into the quagmire of Lena’s choices, she is forced to confront the possibility that a mother’s sacrifice might not be enough.

Set in the bleak underbelly of Sydney, Just Like the Night is a gripping exploration of loneliness, conscience and the ties that bind.

Deeply rooted in settings such as New Orleans, Montreal, and rural Canada, these stories thoughtfully examine characters and worlds fraught with obsession, isolation, longing, and loneliness. With the sense and scope of Wendell Berry and Ron Rash, Michael Caleb Tasker’s haunting All Gone Now examines lives touched by absent parents, escaped convicts, and looming hurricanes in slowly changing worlds, peopled with beaten souls that refuse erosion.
