Eleven-year-old urbanite Ricky (Dennison) — rebellious and hip-hop loving — gets a cultural shock when child welfare services send him to a foster-family in the remote New Zealand countryside.  However, he quickly settles into his new home with his loving Aunt Bella, the cantankerous Uncle Hec (Neill), and dog Tupac. 

But after tragedy strikes his place there is threatened and both he and Hec go on the run in the bush.

Here, the newly branded outlaws must face their options: go out in a blaze of glory or overcome their differences and survive as a family, in this rousing adventure-comedy.
