Ricky, a rebellious city kid, and his gruff foster uncle Hec, find themselves the subjects of a nationwide manhunt after venturing into the New Zealand bush. Their evasive adventure is a wild and whacky one and through it, their unlikely and difficult partnership grows into a touching bond.

With wonderful chemistry between Sam Neill and Julian Dennison, this quirky, heartfelt adventure blends warmth and humour with plenty of laugh out loud moments.
