17-year old Jesse lives in the shadow of his older brother Victor's failure to become surfing's Next Big Thing.

Jesse has the natural skills to surf his way out of this reality and onto the international circuit but can he overcome his equally natural ability to sabotage himself? A momentous weekend away with his mates that includes first love and tragedy leads him to discover what's really important, and also to the performance of a lifetime.
