Raised on hip-hop and foster care, defiant city kid Ricky gets a fresh start in the New Zealand countryside. He quickly finds himself at home with his new foster family: the loving Aunt Bella, the cantankerous Uncle Hec, and dog Tupac. When a tragedy strikes that threatens to ship Ricky to another home, he and Hec go on the run in the bush, and a national manhunt ensues. The newly branded outlaws must face their options: go out in a blaze of glory, or overcome their differences and survive as a family. Director Taika Waititi (WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS; the upcoming THOR: RAGNORAK) masterfully weaves lively humor with emotionally honest performances by Sam Neill and Julian Dennison.
