'Ralph (Matt Day) leaves his parents' property in western Queensland with his guitar and a ticket to Nashville, Tennessee. His plans to become a country singer take a detour when a flamboyant couple in a large black car stop to pick him up. Boyd (Richard Roxburgh) and his girlfriend Patsy (Miranda Otto) are sophisticated world-travellers. Unfortunately, Boyd is also carrying a large amount of illegal drugs. He and Ralph are soon in a police cell, with three country-singing convicts (Tony Barry, Kiri Paramore and Laurence Coy). Patsy escapes into the night. In a parallel story, Ralph imagines a completely different reality, in which he and Patsy team up as a singing duo in Nashville, with Boyd as her conniving manager. The two stories run side by side throughout the film, as Boyd and Ralph prepare to face justice. When Patsy reappears with bad news, Ralph has to make some hard choices.'
