In 1991, five teenage friends, Sonny (Damon Gameau), Sam (Callan Mulvey), Ben (Stephen Curry), Ronnie (Sam Worthington) and Lloyd (Ryan Johnson), leave a concert by legendary rock band AC/DC. The guys are totally overwhelmed by what they have just experienced. They discuss the pros and cons of the band's former front man, the late Bon Scott against the current AC/DC lead singer, Brian Johnson. The friends have already formed a band together, with Lloyd being their manager. They call themselves 'The Jack', and have dreams of one day playing alongside their idols.
A near death experience with an exploding taxi convinces the guys that the spirit of Bon Scott is watching over them. They make a pact in writing that whoever is the first to die will be buried next to Bon, a mission that would need to be fulfilled by the surviving others.
Twelve years pass. The guys have all had haircuts, and have gone separate ways. Sonny is unemployed, Ronnie is a record producer, with his marriage to Molly (Rachel Gordon) on the rocks, Lloyd is a drug runner, Ben is climbing the management ladder at a local supermarket, and Sam is a bouncer (we only discover this from the deleted scenes).
When Sonny gets the news that Ronnie has been killed by a freak lightning strike, he decides to round up the other guys in order to honour their pact. Of course, people can change quite a lot in twelve years and convincing the others that this mission is still important and needs to be carried out takes some effort.
Finally, Sonny 'borrows' his father's pride and joy, a Tarago van, for the long trip from Sydney to Bon's grave site in Fremantle. He and the others conspire to steal Ronnie's ashes from the egotistical Molly. Once this is achieved, the long and often hilarious journey across the Nullarbor begins. Of course, the trip isn't plain sailing - they must overcome many obstacles and encounter a variety of strange characters before reaching their destination.
