Metabolic Equivalents (METs): This measure is determined by the
amount of oxygen consumed - the more oxygen your body needs to
complete an activity, the harder your body is working. One MET is
defined 3.5 milliliters (ml) of oxygen per kilogram (kg) of body
weight per minute (as a point of reference: one kg = 2.2 pounds).
Of course, it’s not exactly practical to measure how much
oxygen your body’s consuming during physical activity, so METs
have been standardized to approximate your body’s metabolic
rate: one MET is equivalent to your resting metabolic rate (or
how much energy you expend at rest); two METs is any activity
that requires twice that resting rate; three METs is three times
your resting metabolic rate, and so on.

On a rundown station in the remote top end of Australia, life for
Susannah is isolated and difficult. Susannah is left alone by her
husband who is the manager of the station. She is forced to cope
with their young twins, the hard physical work of running the
homestead, and the frustration that these things now mark the
boundaries of her life. Nothing is as she expected it to be; a
dark history seeps through the land and the air shimmers with
heat and an intangible menace. And then a young English girl,
Laura, hired by her husband, arrives on the property to work as a
jillaroo. Laura falls in love with Texas, the Aboriginal head
stockman, naively believing that her love will pull him out of
long-held destructive habits. And Susannah, preoccupied by her
own struggles, watches from the sidelines.

When their plane from Los Angeles to New York is grounded on the
morning of September 11, 2001, strangers Elliott (Joe Purdy) and
Joni (Amber Rubarth) are unexpectedly thrust together amidst the
chaos of that historic day. With little in common but both
needing to get to NYC urgently, they accept help from Joni's
family friend Scottie (Krisha Fairchild) who lends the duo a
rusty old 1972 Chevy Van. The shock and stress of 9/11 quickly
threatens to derail their cross country journey until the pair
discover what they do have in common: a love for old folk songs.
Armed with a pile of guitars left in the van from Scottie’s
touring days, Elliott and Joni raise their voices together (and
with those they meet on the road), re-discovering the healing
nature of music and bearing witness to a nation of people who,
even while mourning, manage to lift each other up in the wake of
tragedy.
