When Monty learns that the lives of the wild horses of Palm Island are being threatened by local youths, he flies to Australia to help save them. A victim of child abuse himself, Monty sees an opportunity to share a message of hope, learned from horses, with these children who have been raised in one of the most violent places on earth.
