Inspired by a true story, the tale of a cememt truck driver named Danny, whose long awaited vacation is cancelled thanks to his scheming girlfriend. Danny escapes his grim life in suburban Australia and blasts into the skies in a chair tied to helium balloons. A thunderstorm blows him clean off the map, and spits him out far away of the town of Clarence. While the media back home becomes obsessed with the story of his diappearance, Danny gets to reinvent himself in this new town, and in his great adventure, he discovers a true soul mate. Things are looking up... until his old life catches up with him! (official distributor synopsis)
