Orphaned 14 year-old Cody (Henry Thomas) is a typical boy with an adventurous spirit and imagination to match. Living with his guardian Gaza (Tony Barry) in an outback Australian township, Cody learns of an ancient Aboriginal myth known as 'Donkegin', sparking an interest that will not let him rest. Convinced there is an underwater monster in a nearby dam, Cody and his close friend Wendy (Rachel Friend) embark on a journey that will take them into the very shadow-land of mystery and intrigue. An atmospheric 80s adventure tale, inspired by the likes of The Goonies and E.T, written by Everett DeRoche and directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith, Frog Dreaming (also known as The Quest and The Go-Kids) captures the infectious spirit of childhood determination and discovery.
