Ben heads into the forests of northern New South Wales to meet Jimmy, an American photographer living alone. Jimmy shares his story of coming out to family and friends, and how meeting his late husband Richard inspired them to start a new life together in the wild. Ben learns that Jimmy has faced multiple tragedies since leaving urban America for rural Australia. Bereavement and unprecedented natural disasters have taken a significant toll on him, prompting Ben to wonder why Jimmy has chosen to remain in the wild alone. 

Ben embarks on an epic journey to meet one of the most remote families he's ever encountered, uncovering what drove academics and married couple Bec and Reece to leave civilisation for complete isolation. Ben ventures deep into the Sturt Desert to Fort Grey, a former homestead now serving as the offgrid headquarters for an ambitious project aimed at revitalising the desolate Australian wilderness. There, he discovers that Bec and Reece are not only raising a young family but also managing a demanding workload. He witnesses how the couple is restoring the landscape to its former glory but is then shocked to learn that their future in the wild is far from certain.
