Synopsis

Sam comes from the city, but when his mother is ill and his father is away working he is sent to stay with his cousin Badge's family on their remote farm in Tasmania's rugged south-west. Badge can't stand his cousin's disdain for the bush. When the two boys are separated from the others while looking for a missing heifer in the bush they find they have to work together if they are to find the heifer and get back to the farm safely.
