Synopsis

Fifteen-year-old Miles just wants to surf, but in the New South Wales coastal tourist-drawn town of Ulladulla, things are far from idyllic. Hidden beneath the surface of pristine beaches and a laid-back community is an underbelly of crime, racism and rage.

Miles tries to navigate his way through love, brotherhood and family, but he is drawn into a culture of toxic masculinity.

All the while, the Currowan bushfire rages, refusing to be subdued. During the 2019 summer, when everything changes, Miles must discover just how deep salt runs.
