The series begins with Kyle getting a Maori tattoo in England. This sets in motion a chain of events when the two tourists arrive at the fictional island Manutaki, beginning with the discovery of a dead woman in a lagoon. Except it turns out that the woman, Aumea, is alive and well. So was what Kyle saw a premonition? Over the course of eight episodes, Kyle dives deeper into the visions with the help of the fictional hallucinogen Avatavi while Budgie tries to smooth things over with the locals, although the latter later gets into serious trouble of his own.
