Things You Know is a story of survival.

 A pair of hot, young success stories are hiding scarred childhoods. Two Brisbane kids struggle with neglect and abuse by drunken parents. Barely seven, Sylviana does her best to look after her baby brother and to keep them both safe. A few suburbs away, Mark discovers that his beloved older sister, a wild tearaway who has ended up in the worst trouble of all, is really his mother. Shocked and dislocated – has anything about his life been the truth? He flees his family home, ending up on the streets.

 How can these children strike out for a safe shore where so many others have drowned? Will their lives converge in happiness or tragedy?

 Sylviana, Eddie and Mark flame brightly against their bleak circumstances. Will they claw themselves up out of these miserable oubliettes? There are dreams to be had, lives to live and lessons to be learned... sometimes it is hard to tell these... one from another – to tell which are the things you really know.

 If you have ever struggled, wanted, loved, lost or yearned; lend your heart to these three and their gritty tale of endurance and triumph.

 Is it better to survive than live?

 Do you know?
