Season 1

Billy-John decides to leave Papakura in the dust and head for the bright lights of the Gold Coast. Now, he just needs to break the news to best mate Hotene, 'girlfriend' Trinity, and his ragtag but close-knit family.

Moving overseas is expensive, especially after losing your job for throwing poo at your manager's face. Billy-John needs cash for his plane ticket and luckily, mum Sharon has plenty of odd jobs to send his way.

The boys have an epic night planned to give Billy-John a proper send-off. But first, he has to pick up a mystery package for his uncle in Oz. After a few too many Double Browns with the boys, however, things start to fall apart.

Things are tense between Billy-John and Hotene and the fact that his uncle's package has disappeared isn't helping. A conversation with Trinity forces Billy-John to see things in a different light and nostalgia hits him hard.

It's Billy-John's final day in Papakura and everyone's come to say goodbye - but will Hotene show up? And will Billy ever find Uncle Trev's missing package? Everything comes to a head as Billy-John must decide, once and for all, if the grass really is greener on the other side.
