Young Alice flees from home after her absentee father Jack returns unannounced, meets a friendly drifter named Mick, and joins him in a quest to seek out his community deep in Australia's Top End desert. Before long, Alice and Mick are hopelessly lost, and a search party begins working around the clock to find them. When Jack nearly dies in a car accident, Alice finally realizes how much her father truly loves her. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
