Following a passion for country music, Ralph leaves his father’s sheep farm in a remote Australian town, armed with a guitar and a plane ticket to Nashville, Tennessee. He hopes to hitchhike to Sydney Airport where his take-off into a successful country/western singing career will hopefully begin. However, fate and his naivety find him hitchhiking with a psychotic drug thief named Boyd, and Boyd's mesmerising girlfriend, Patsy. The plot then splits into a series of parallels, flash forwards and flashbacks. One depicts Ralph’s imprisonment after being framed for drug trafficking. The other follows the dramatic ascent of his career to hype status and the pairing between the dynamic Patsy and himself.

Run Chrissie Run!
Wardrobe Supervisor
La acción avanza rápidamente, saltando sobre agujeros en el guión, en este drama hecho para la televisión sobre Eve, una ex terrorista de Alemania que se ve obligada a escapar a Australia con su hija adolescente Chrissie cuando es buscada por Riley, una Amante de los 17 años en el pasado. A su vez, el IRA ha enviado a dos miembros después de Riley porque le disparó a un soldado del IRA y debe pagar las consecuencias. Los dos agentes del IRA que buscan a Riley se encuentran con un motociclista realmente desagradable que quiere vengarse de Eve por incendiar su auto, y los tres hombres finalmente la rastrean a ella y a Chrissie en el país vitivinícola del Valle de Barossa. El desenlace final está a punto de explotar, ya que Riley también llega a la escena. Con una actuación por debajo de la par y una trama irregular, esta película nunca se estrenó teatralmente.
