In a clearing amongst a forest of pines lives a reclusive old man who struggles to keep himself warm in an unrelenting winter, though help comes from an unexpected friend.

National Party candidate and budding politician Dennis Plant didn't have a chance of winning Wakatipu South, the safe seat of the righteous Labour MP and environmentalist Janis Goodhead.

And young student filmmaker Cassie Young has decided to follow Dennis from the start of the campaign through to the finish.
