Teenage cousins Jackie Mullens (Jo Kennedy) and Angus (Ross O'Donovan) live in the Harbour View Hotel, a pub owned by Jackie's family and located in The Rocks area of Sydney, underneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge. 18 year old Jackie dreams about becoming a singing star, and 14 year old Angus, who writes songs and skips school, thinks that he has what it takes to be a successful manager.Angus dreams up several schemes in an attempt to get Jackie noticed, including getting her a spot at one of Sydney's happening clubs, where she has to wear a kangaroo suit, but they all fail to win Jackie any paying gigs. Angus then enters Jackie in a national talent contest that is happening at the Sydney Opera House on New Year's Eve. A win in the contest will give Jackie some assurance about her career, and the competition's grand prize of $25,000 will be enough for her family to keep their pub open, stopping the local brewery from repossessing it.
