Chris the merino sheep, nervous about his first shearing, escapes into the bush. At first Chris enjoys his new life among the gum trees, but as the years go by, his fleece grows heavier and heavier. Chris's journey into the unknown takes a turn when he encounters a wiry dingo.

Is the dingo here to help Chris overcome his fears? Can Chris find his way back to the farm? Will he become the world's woolliest sheep?
