It’s 2017. Mick Wilson’s wife has taken off from Adelaide with a long-haul truck-driver and Mick’s two little kids. In an attempt to find his family, Mick, a brick-layer and former top-level Australian Rules footballer, blindly heads for Alice Springs.

In Central Australia, where many people go to hide from their past, Mick finds a different and challenging world. He stumbles into work on a remote cattle station, with an Aboriginal community close by. He also finds three very different women who shape his destiny.
Racial tensions, tangled personal relationships, a mysterious mountain range and a struggling Aboriginal community and its struggling football team force Mick to confront the incomprehensible.
Across cultural boundaries, new understandings emerge in the most unlikely of places.

Through it all, Mick searches and aches for his kids, but because of the people he comes to know, he’s never alone.

​

A robust Aussie yarn about respect, reconciliation and shared responsibility—a celebration of Aboriginal culture and a lesson in how to achieve great things with good humour.
