Sunshine as a working class suburb where protagonist Jacob Chagai lives. Born in South Sudan, Jacob is an aspiring professional basketballer, a storyline that parallels to the rise of South Sudanese-Australian professional basketballer Thon Maker, who escaped civil war and settled in Perth the 20-year-old now plays for Milwaukee Bucks.

But the truth is never black and white.
