Two strangers – one white (Jack), one Aboriginal (Gary) – steal a car in western New South Wales and drive around the coast.

The original characters came from a story by Adelaide writer John Emery, with whom Noyce had worked on a short film.

[2] Jack and Gary steal a car and head off around the back roads of Western New South Wales.

They pickup a trio of fellow travellers – Gary's uncle Joe, a French hitchhiker and an embittered woman.

[3] Gary Foley agreed to act provided that he would be responsible for the film's indigenous content.
