The Boys Are Back

Joe Warr is a top sportswriter from England, now in Australia, living in an isolated homestead on the Fleurieu Peninsula near Adelaide, with his second wife Katy and their young son Artie. In leisure hours Joe's relationship with his son is more like a big brother — they play boisterous, possibly dangerous, games together. The homestead is ideal for a bright energetic young boy — it has a treehouse, flying fox and swimming pool. Katy is diagnosed with cancer and dies, forcing Joe to cope with the responsibilities of being a single parent.
