New Thriller, THE OPAL DRAGON is Released

Ali is the son of Zeena, a small town prostitute on one of the smaller islands in the Philippines. He works in the marketplace looking for customers for his mother, but she's starting to lose her looks because of her volatile lifestyle. Drugs, beatings, and indiscriminate sex have taken their toll.

Both have been beaten up so many times over the years that Ali has taken to thievery to help make money. One night he robs and stabs an elderly jewellery dealer. When the police start to close in, Ali escapes to the mountains to live with his Aunt Sasha. There he lives a normal life and falls for a nice girl in the village. But a terrorist invades their mountain retreat and kills his aunt. Ali retaliates with violence, and once again he and his mother are on the run, this time to Manilla.

Violence once again catches up with Zeena when an old boyfriend attacks her. The rough life that has surrounded Ali has now brought him into the drug trade. When Manilla gets too dangerous, Ali and his mother head for northern Australia, where their lives take yet another turn, and they are introduced to the beautiful Australian black opal.
