It is December 1982 and Jo has spent the first 17 years of her life under parent’s rules. Her parents have her life mapped out for her: career as an accountant, marry a nice boy and graze with the other sheep. But, now she had finished her HSC, Jo wants to follow her passion—to be a mechanic. Jo’s best friends are her kelpie dog, Max, and Bev, her lively seventy year old Nanna who exercises to Duran Duran in her lime green legwarmers. With Nanna’s encouragement, Jo applies, via good old-fashioned snail mail, for a job as a mechanic in a small Victorian country town. Jo gets the job but forgets to mention she is a girl. Jo is amused when she arrives in Chickdale. The some-what wacky town is having a Chookfest, where the locals dress up as chickens and party. Jo meets her chauvinistic boss Mr Benson, who after some nagging by the town’s folk, gets the job and is on two weeks trial. The story follows Jo’s experiences at trade school, her passion for life and her love for an old Dodge.
