Gary and Maggie are settled into middle-aged life on their farm in Central Otago. Married only 6 years, it’s starting to feel a lot longer. Maggie’s concerned that Gary is neglecting his responsibilities on the farm, but he doesn’t seem worried, happier reading a good book than fixing the fences. Neil, visiting from America with his partner Helen, is looking to buy a large property in the area. On a routine trip to town to get supplies, Gary runs into Neil at the pub and makes a fateful offer to show him the lie of the land. When Neil and Helen immediately take him up on the offer, they all face some uncomfortable truths and decisions must be made on what they individually and collectively want from their lives.
