A forty-five-year-old man is sitting in the cab of a firewood delivery truck, parked in a lay-by on an empty road in rural Tasmania. His clothes are soaked through. The heater's dead. The windows are fogged solid. His last delivery just got cancelled by text message. He has nowhere to be and no reason to move. In his shirt pocket there's half a joint his mate gave him earlier. It's still dry. He lights it. And inside that fogged cab, sealed off from the world by a storm that doesn't care who he is or what he's done, Jim Hedger stops pretending that the morning didn't leave a mark. That's the moment.
