In a motel room behind a tavern in Bellingen in mid-northern NSW, single mother Kaila Jobson is trying, so hard.
Boiling up the kettle for hot dogs to feed her kids because she doesn't have a stove, lying awake at night anxious, hoping her crying baby doesn't wake the other motel guests.
Trying to stop her four-year-old from getting ratty when he's watching cartoons on a smartphone while she strips motel room beds.
