Are You John?

In 1954, a young boy escapes the emotional torment of his home, fleeing into the vast, unforgiving Australian bush. Alone and naive, he embarks on a perilous journey spanning seventy years, where every encounter shapes his destiny. Who will he meet in this wild frontier? Will he find allies among the rugged inhabitants, or will the darker elements of society pull him into their nefarious undertakings? As he navigates the trials of life, from the innocence of youth to the wisdom of age, we witness a profound transformation. Can he rise above the harsh realities and succeed, or will he be consumed by the very environment he sought refuge in?
