An Australian coastal town called Jamadget Castle has been under supernatural attack for decades. In the nearby forest, a dimension rip known as the Goblin Gate lets out bizarre creatures that terrorize the town's inhabitants. Fourteen-year-old twins Viola and Alyssa Valentine come from a long line of magical guardians gifted with the responsibility of protecting their town.

A vicious and mysterious gang who hide in the surrounding bushland are threatening to destroy Jamadget Castle.

Touchy Subjects is about things that make people wince: taboos, controversies, secrets, and lies. Some of the events that characters crash into are grand, tragic ones: miscarriage, overdose, missing persons.
