The story of four young Australian bull riders as they follow their dreams across Queensland's Gulf Country to win the prestigious yet cash-strapped Mount Isa Rodeo.

Bull riding is eight seconds of fast and furious tension – with the chance of a prize – preceded by months of determined graft.It’sa risky sport for youthful dreamers like Peter Jnr, living in remote Doomadgee with his ex-bull rider father; tenaciousCamicka, hustling on a feedlot; Mount Isa local favourite Donovan; and talented larrikin Darcy. Filmed over three years, this engrossing documentary captures the grit and determination of the four Queenslanders, with their stories accompanied by a soulful score from Sam Teskey (Teskey Brothers).
