Rex est un solitaire, et quand on lui dit qu'il ne lui reste plus beaucoup à vivre, il part à un voyage épique à travers l'arrière pays australien, de Broken Hill à Darwin, pour mourir à sa propre façon. Mais son voyage lui révèle qu'avant de pouvoir mettre fin à sa vie, il faut la vivre, et pour vivre sa vie, il faut la partager.

John Grant is returning to Sydney after a year teaching at a one-classroom school in the Outback. Shortly after hitting the road, he collides with a kangaroo, and finds himself marooned in a small mining town, awaiting repairs on his car. With little to do but drink beer, John is seduced into a raucous, illegal game of two-up. After a short, exhilarating winning streak, he loses everything, which triggers a dangerous series of events that render John a broken and desperate man.
