Horace, Chook and Vikki, the three generations of Fowlers, have Country and Western music in their blood. But for each of them their music and their country have different meanings.
Chook is lost, stranded in suburbia between the big country myths of his father, the wily old Horace, and the get-up-and-go of his daughter Vikki. It takes a family trip to the Tamworth Music Festival and a chance meeting with a long lost lover to get Chook fired up again. It takes Vikki's boyfriend Hank to remind us of the treasure we have in our own Australian Country and Western music.
