All that sad, lonely Aussie truckie Mark Cornwall wants for Chrissie Day is a trouble-free road-train drive through the Australian Outback, coast to coast, south to north. He's delivering 60 tonnes of newsprint to the last place on Earth he would choose to visit: his ex-wife's workplace in Darwin, NT, his father-in-law's newspaper.

Mark has sold his haulage business and given his drivers and families the Chrissie Hollies off, and he's the only driver left to deliver his company's final load before handing over to the new owners.

His chosen isolated truck stop, just south of Port Augusta, SA, is invaded by Chrissie Eve partygoers who urge him with threats to move on. His inner peace is further interrupted by a naked red headed calendar model, a classic "Bluey", and a damsel in distress who needs a "knight" of the road to escape from powerful abusers.

Mark's season of goodwill just got complicated.
