He’s just trying to follow his heart and learn what it takes to be a good man, but life keeps throwing obstacles in his way – not the least of which is Tytus Broz, legendary Brisbane drug dealer.Soon Eli is beset by chaos on all sides, and a run-in with the local crime king and his henchman launches the 13-year-old with the old soul on a journey to find out what kind of man he is going to be.Adapted by Tim McGarry from Trent Dalton’s smash-hit novel, Boy Swallows Universe is an exhilarating story of magic and madness, of beauty and brutality, of joy and heartbreak, and of the power of love to triumph over the darkest of circumstances.
