In the new millennium, gadabout Kiwi Neil Cameron returns to New Zealand on the urging of then prime minister Helen Clark who says there's never been better time for young people to return home and find work. Neil finds this is not the case. He begins applying for jobs and sets his sights high - writing to well-known individuals and organisations in search of a plum job that will exercise his talents and make him lots of money. Quickly, the letters start to question basic tenets of New Zealand life, and his correspondence becomes increasingly hilarious.
