Environmental activist Kyle has just arrived in Darwin for a temporary job checking gardens for diseased vines. Seems easy enough, but Kyle's job also involves working undercover - befriending a chopper pilot who may be bringing illegal bugs into the country. They take infection and the treat of a pandemic very seriously in the Top End. As Kyle gets to know Darwin's eccentric locals and backpacker scene he realises that his task may not be as easy as he thought. Is this pandemic threat real, or is it just media hype?
