Upright: Series 2 (2022)

Description

It’s been three years since Meg (Milly Alcock) and Lucky (Tim Minchin) drove across the desert. Lucky is a successful musician, touring with his band and living with his actor girlfriend. Meg, now 17 with an attitude to match, walks back into his life and all but orders him to help her search for her mum, who left when she was small. Against his instincts, Lucky agrees and they trade the desert for the steamy tropics of North Queensland, with the promise of being back in a week. Trouble is, Meg’s mum has disappeared into the rain-forest, Meg is grappling with new complications in her life, and Lucky is hiding something from his own sordid Queensland past.
All the while the clock is ticking and the consequences for Lucky if he doesn’t get back home in time don’t bear thinking about…
