Māori elder Hamo takes in Jo, a delinquent young woman who is alienated from her Māori culture and heritage. They embark on a road trip in an old Ford Falcon to Hamo's whenua (land). Along the way, Hamo guides Jo, introducing her to her ancestral knowledge and the spiritual significance of the land, particularly Matariki. The journey becomes a path for both characters to confront their past traumas and find healing and reconciliation.
