The story
What it's about
Shane Jacobsen dives headfirst into the ultimate country adventure as he attempts to revive a tired old pub in the tiny Victorian town of Dederang and restore it as the beating heart of the community once again. There’s just one problem: Shane has never run a pub before. In a moment of spectacular optimism, he also booked a wedding that must go ahead right in the middle of renovation chaos.
