After twenty years on the run abroad, Johnny Spitieri (Spit), a former petty criminal, sneaks back into Australia with a fake passport. He immediately finds himself incarcerated in an immigration detention center, hunted by old enemies determined to settle the score. Resourceful, Spit makes new friends in detention and teaches them his idea of ​​camaraderie and what it means to be a true Australian. A fast-paced, slapstick comedy full of humanity.
