After a sporting hero's death, transgender activist Caz Davis finds himself stranded back in his hometown of Rūrangi.
Caz reconnects with his shocked and delighted childhood friend, Anahera, but struggles to reconcile with his dad.
Caz can’t bring himself to enter his childhood home with Gerald. He gets drunk with his old high school boyfriend Jem, who's more intrigued than shocked by Caz’s transition.
Caz finally crosses the threshold into his old family home - and confronts his dad.
Heroes emerge as Caz, Anahera and Jem are thrust into the environmental debate dividing Rūrangi.
Tensions between Rurangi's farming and Maori communities culminate in a strange phenomenon that awakens the past.
Anahera stands up to Aunty Beth on the marae, Caz returns to Auckland to seek out Ellie, and Jem experiences his first queer nightclub.
Jem is crushed to realise the town is gossiping about his sexuality. Caz tries to convince Anahera to let local queer kids host a Rainbow Youth Group in her op shop.
Caz is forced to watch the documentary about his dead lover, Anahera and Ellie have a karaoke duel, and Jem wants to go back in the closet.
Tensions in Rurangi grow. Anahera confesses her true feelings, Jem makes a painful decision, and Caz's pursuit of Andy's ghost takes him to a dangerous new low.
