A town of amazing people. A story that crowds a lifetime into a few, short years. And a young man who experienced it all.

Jamie Carr (Christopher Pate) is a young man growing up in Bundaberg, Northern Queensland during the closing years of World War I. Jamie is brought up by his grandmother who is known and loved by all in the town, and does her best to help Jamie through the emotional turmoil of adolescence. After the death of Grandma Carr, Jamie sets out to build a future of his own in the city.
