Description Under an ochre sky something happened at Mt. Ragged. The incident inspired celebrated bush poet Daniel Gartrell's most analysed piece of verse ... a poem that's final verse has never been published. Now an enigma, Gartrell lives as a recluse in the suburbs, his only contact is with his daughter, Sarah. Gartrell is at home, thinking very oblique thoughts when an emerging actor from Bondi, Craig Castevich, knocks on his door. The ambitious and optimistic Castevich has been cast to play Gartrell in a biographical movie, and in his research for the role, is ready for anything ... or so he thinks.
