A down-and-out musician has to drive a piano from one side of Australia to the other in order to honour his mother’s dying wish. That’s the easy bit. His real problems begin when he’s joined by a fugitive teenage girl who soon proves to be even heavier baggage than the piano. What are the odds they’ll all make it out of the desert intact?
