Gem is a 9-year-old-girl who lives in a small town in Australia. After her mother’s sudden death, Gem deals with her grief by making friends with a wild emu, a mythical bird. But the girl gets too attached to the animal: she gives it her school lunch and steals food for the bird. Gem’s odd behavior attracts the attention of a social worker, who believes that the child is not being taken care of by her family.
