After relocating from the whirlwind of Sydney, newspaper columnist George Turner (Erik Thomson, Packed to the Rafters) is slowly learning what it means to be a local in the quirky New Zealand town of Weld. He wanted his kids, Shay (Melina Vidler) and Arlo (Benson Jack Anthony), to have a fresh start after the death of his wife, but all did not go according to plan. Now George must reunite his family by bringing Shay home from her self-appointed exile in Australia.
