Rush Creek

Sometimes the wrong road is the only way to find where you belong.Sydney, 1986. Sixteen-year-old Lucas Bennett is heading down a dangerous path when a failed attempt to steal a car lands him before a magistrate. Instead of detention, Lucas is given an unusual sentence: six months working on a remote sheep station in Central Australia called Rush Creek.Far from the streets of Sydney, Lucas finds himself in a world of red dirt, hard work and people who refuse to judge him by his worst mistake. Under the quiet guidance of station owner Sam and the unlikely friendship of a stockman known as Grog, Lucas slowly learns about responsibility, loyalty, loss and the power of a second chance.What begins as a punishment becomes the place that changes his life-and, years later, gives Lucas the opportunity to offer that same chance to others.Rush Creek is a heartfelt Australian story about redemption, mateship and the people who believe in us when we have stopped believing in ourselves.Because sometimes changing a life doesn't begin with punishment.It begins with giving someone a chance.
