Self-destructive musician Lucky hasn't spoken to his family in years, but he packs up his battered old piano for a 4,000-mile road trip across Australia when he hears his estranged mother is dying.

Lucky struggles without his anxiety medication. While waiting for a chemist to open in Port Agusta, Meg picks a fight with bikers at the pub.

Meg is beside herself when she loses all of her's and Lucky's money. To make matters worse, they then run out of petrol.

Meg and Lucky join a campground party on the Great Australian Bight, but the night takes a horrible turn when Lucky discovers a suicide note.

Luke contemplates giving up when Meg runs away with the ute and the piano, but a potentially poisonous snakebite makes him change his mind.

Lucky decides to abandon his piano and take responsibility for Meg's welfare, but news about his mother sends him into a downward spiral.
