In homage to the Deep South bluesmen who walked and played their way to Chicago he decides to trek 1000 kilometres of Australian coastline. Kissing his girlfriend goodbye he sets off with a guitar a sleeping bag and a heroic miscalculation of what hes getting into. Beset by bushfires dingoes and septuagenarian nudists fame seems to forever be over the horizon. Penniless and lost the tour soon becomes a matter of survival instead of climbing the charts.
