Grace (Odessa Young), 16, runs away from home. Her parents, Dan (Richard Roxburgh) and Denise (Radha Mitchell), head off on the road to across the Western Australian wheat belt with a retired detective, Norris (Terry Norris), to try and get her back. But life unravels faster than they can put it back together. Grace, Dan and Denise learn that life is confusing and arbitrary, but wonderful. ”Looking For Grace” is about how we make sense of the mess of our lives and what it all means. It is a wry drama about lies, secrets, small and large griefs and love.
