It's the summer holidays in Tasman Bay, 2008. Chris Taylors teachers want him to think about his future. His old man wants him to either take school more seriously or get a job and stop aimlessly roaming around Abel Tasman National Park - according to him, diving, fishing, body boarding and camping doesn't look good on you resume. Chris doesn't care about his future, he's all for living for the now with his mates while he's young and free enough to do so. His best friend Brodie convinces him a trip to the Arthur Range will seal the deal with his new girlfriend, Shelly. Chris and Shelly, being the last remaining virgins in their group are eager to parts ways with it. So, they head for the high-country seeking mountain solitude away from pesky little brothers, nosy mothers, and open-door policies. But disaster begins to strike when a dangerous storm looms over the West Coast, heading right for Tasman; and Chris's old man, former outdoorsman turned alcoholic/workaholic, Danny Taylor, may be the only one who can save them.
