    • Ricky (Julian Dennison) is a bit of a misfit. All is going well with his new foster home until his new aunt passes away, leaving him alone with his grumpy uncle Hec (Sam Neill). The unlikely duo find themselves on the run in the vast New Zealand bush, evading child services and the law. They are forced to work together to survive and despite their differences, form a bond in this hilarious and heartfelt adventure.
