'It’s the summer of 1999 in blue-collar Melbourne and school is out forever. 17-year-old Serbian immigrant Kol is preparing for the Australian Dance finals when he receives a distress call from his dance partner Ebony who has woken up on a beach, in an unfamiliar town after a big night out. With the help of Ebony’s older brother Adam, they attempt to make it to the finals on time but when Kol and Adam get stuck in summer traffic on the way to collect Ebony, they discover they have more in common than expected, and over the course of the next 24 hours an unexpected and intense romance blossoms. A decade later the pair meet for a bittersweet reunion.'
