Just because it's hard, doesn't mean it's impossible
Young Kal runs away from home to find himself at the mercy of the Jhunti, a reclusive tribe living in the mountains of Australia. The Jhunti are fearful of white people destroying their way of life. Despite their misgivings, they agree to take Kal in after one of their own, Nemid, volunteers to look after the boy.
Life is hard with the Jhunti, but good, and through Nemid, Kal experiences what family and kindness are all about for the first time. Though, not everyone is pleased. Fighting racism at every turn and struggling to learn the Jhunti ways under the distrustful eyes of the tribal leaders, Kal’s welcome is wearing thin. He and Nemid have a difficult road ahead if they are to stay together.
