Tāne & Isaac return to a cabin from their youth on the anniversary of their best friend's passing. They plan to drink, sing and reminisce. But with the Maunga looming over their heads and hearts, can the two men finally confront the truth?
This riveting, original Māori drama tests the friendships of men and the relationship one has with their own history.
