In 1965, a busload of boy scouts go for a camping trip, where they start telling campfire tales. One of the older scouts, in attempt to scare the youngers, tells the "true story" about The Berko Brothers , which according to the legend, used to be a pair of Italian brothers who crashed their plane near the area years ago.

St. Ambrose in Brunswick has a rich history that mirrors the waves of change in the Australian Catholic Church and migration to Australia since the 1870s. In the 1990s, at the centre of even greater upheavals is the enigmatic priest, Father Bongiorno. The priest presides over a fascinating stream of factional battles, entrenched Church policies, diverse ethnic needs and the faith of the population of St Ambrose.
