After his sister chastises him for being unable to move on from their mother’s death, Dalton, a grieving, mid-20s alcoholic, impulsively decides to take his mother's urn and embark on an aimless journey across the Australian outback. With no clear destination and only the open road ahead, he sets off in search of some kind of solace. Along the way, Dalton crosses paths with Cassie, a high-strung and anxious actress whose car has broken down in the middle of nowhere. Cassie is on her way to an important audition but now finds herself stranded, out of fuel, and panicking about missing her opportunity. With no phone signal, little hope, and only two bottles of water and vodka between them, the two reluctantly agree to walk to the nearest petrol station together. Through moments of humour, irritation, and vulnerability, the two unlikely companions form an unexpected connection in the vast landscape before reaching an explosive and hopeless climax.
