Jamie Carr (Christopher Pate) is a young man growing up in Bundaberg, Northern Queensland during the closing years of World War I. Jamie, who is in his final year of high school, was brought up by his beloved grandmother (a moving character portrait by Geraldine Fitzgerald).

Following her death, Jamie sets out to build a future of his own in the city as he and his friends face the possibility of being sent to war.
