An orphan boy Simon is sent to live with some relatives in the country, and discovers that life is not always as it seems. As machinery goes missing from a local road project, he encounters strange creatures that live in the bush and the rocks and the trees, and works with them to divert a fearsome primitive being that is rampaging through the area. He learns to really see the world, to trust, to believe and ultimately to live his life fully.
