Two music journalists live in a surreal universe within Melbourne, Australia. Each week, musicians join them on bizarre and psychedelic quests that usually go absolutely nowhere.

Poncho is an old, crappy football whose motto is "i need a good kick in the butt". Daring and slightly manic, sweet and shameless, witty and hyperactive, Poncho is a stray football who lives to reach his goal. Poncho sets out on a long, intricate journey around the world in which he gets conned by a mean kid, befriends a Brazilian coconut, is chased in Argentina, gets shipwrecked and is swallowed by a monster whale. An African tribe worships him, enjoys a Japanese massage, is abducted by aliens who learn to play football, changes Stonehedge's structure and falls in love for the first time in Venice.

Poncho raps on the streets until his father finds out he quit school and forces him to work delivering gas tanks. Between music, work, and tension with his dad, Poncho faces the weight of growing up.
