A wily 8-year-old girl and a grizzly fisherman team up on an epic odyssey across the world to find her Mama in Australia while being hunted by an obsessive Social Services Agent hellbent on bagging the girl first.
An intelligent young girl sets off on a journey to Australia to seek out her long-lost mother, and along the way, she teams up with and bonds with a cantankerous fisherman.
After her grandfather dies, a young girl goes to Sydney to find her mother, who left her almost a decade ago. With her Child Protective Services agent hot on her tail, the girl meets a grizzled fisherman who reluctantly agrees to help her for a cash reward of a thousand dollars.
After her grandfather and sole custodian dies, a spirited eight-year-old girl from Mojave, CA, endeavors to get to Sydney, Australia to find the mother she only knows from a video. She starts off alone, but soon enlists the begrudging assistance of a reclusive oddball who aims to steal his repossessed boat back, setting them up to cross the sea, tracked the whole time by an obsessive social worker who wants to put the girl in foster care.
