San Francisco based crypto trader Brendan Brandon loses everything when his investments collapse but an opportunity presents itself when his missing uncle gifts him the family’s macadamia nut farm in the small Australian town of Cobweb. Faced with a unexpected legal caveat and some evil New Zealander gas frackers, Brendan soon realises that a quick sale of the old farm might not be as easy as he’d hoped.
