Yuma visits Alice Springs with her art dealer father Henry, where she meets Kyanna for the first time. They were both separated at birth and unaware of the other's existence. Yuma and Kyanna, without telling anyone, decide to swap places to see what it is like living with their unknown parent. Kyanna goes to a beachside suburb of Sydney to live with Henry, her step mother Roz and step brother Heath, while Yuma goes to an outback Indigenous community to live with her mother Freda.
