Seeking to verify an old legend about an  ''ageless immortal being'', living anonymously in their city, a disparate group of young dreamers comes of age as their inner beliefs, fantasies and aspirations collide with reality in the Cumberland Archipelago, a mysterious group of islands that bear an uncanny resemblance to Tasmania in the early 1970s.
