"For the boys who lived in 'The Spot', a poor area of Sydney at the back of Randwick racetrack, life in the 1920s had little to offer. Neglected or abused by their parents, fond of playing truant from school, they spent their days as much as possible in each other's company, or in the company of the tall, gentle rag-and bone man they called The Brain. Society taught them about dishonesty, hatred, and cynicism, but from The Brain they learned about the finer things: self respect, love for their fellow man, tolerance and trust."
