Rose; ; Tommmy McAlpine always dreamed of escaping his unpleasant dad's prospect-less sheep farming but never got an opportunity to try his special gift, music, 'sissy' by Sir's Outback standards. When Tommy and spoiled-rotten rich schoolmate Kat are sentenced to community service for a childish watermelons prank, Tommy chooses volunteering as prison training volunteer and manages to turn it into an opportunity to train a cons band so as to execute his premier composition.
