Art Watkins returns to the neglected resort of Broken Bay when his mother dies. On spending time there he becomes enmeshed in the lives of the locals and finds heaven in the most unexpected places.

2 brothers who are always at odds are forced by their just-deceased mothers' strange will to work together and rescue her deteriorating backpack hostel called 'far out east'. A small town, Broken Bay, is home to most, but not all, of the characters where they work, play and generally get into trouble. A funny, sometimes sad look into the lives of people who are just trying to be themselves.—horizonsandsrvp

Art Watkins returns to the neglected resort of Broken Bay, the eastern-most point of Australia, when his mother dies. Art hopes his stay will be brief but the legacy from his mother binds him to his wayward younger brother and the teenage son he has hardly seen in ten years. The longer Art stays, the more he becomes enmeshed in the lives of the locals and the drifters who have found safe haven in Broken Bay.
