During one unusually hot weekend, four friends struggle after hearing some life-changing news.

Fig is a knockabout Aussie bloke who loves his lady, his two kids and his Harley, though not necessarily in that order. All in all life is pretty sweet, but when lady Sheree puts the hard word on him to get hitched, everything goes pear-shaped.

Svenja and her 16-year-old daughter Kira have traveled the world a lot. Svenja is a hotel manager and is currently bringing an aging hotel in Australia back into shape. But her biggest challenge is her daughter, who has switched to complete refusal and doesn't let Svenja tell her anything anymore. Kira doesn't avoid confrontations at school either, which in turn leads to conflicts with Svenja. After another argument, Kira decides to go to Jack. Jack is Aboriginal and Kira's only friend. Together, the two young people go in search of their “special place”, their own particular locality. Svenja is beside herself with worry when she notices Kira's disappearance and gives chase with Jack's father Kalti, a deeply relaxed hotel boat guide whom Svenja had released two days earlier. An adventurous journey begins in the barren deserted Outback - for Svenja and Kira a strange world, fascinating, but also life-threatening!

Michael Kingley, homme d’affaires de 70 ans respecté au caractère bien trempé, se replonge dans une enfance qu’il pensait enfouie à tout jamais. Une époque où il était Mike, dit Storm Boy, "l’enfant-tempête". Une époque où il vivait avec son père, Tom, dans une cabane faite de bric et de broc, sur un coin sauvage du littoral méridional de l’Australie. Une époque où il sauva d’une mort certaine un extraordinaire bébé pélican baptisé Mr Perceval, dont le destin influença sa vie à tout jamais.
