Secretly dating the middle-class Kylie, his life comes to an explosive moment on his 18th birthday, when his deception threatens to tear his family life apart. The film is based on real events in the life of co-director Guido Gonzalez, who grew up in Cabramatta after moving to Australia as a refugee from Chile in 1985.

Tightly-wound Ellie flies to Australia and enlists the help of an Aboriginal Tour Guide and a YouTube-famous Uber driver to find her husband and his eclectic family, and find her true self along the way, all before Christmas.
