A Melbourne family is very happy living near the Melbourne airport. However, they are forced to leave their beloved home (by the Government and airport authorities) to make way for more runways. 'The Castle' is the story of how they fight to remain in their home.
Things haven't been going well for Steve 'The Wog Boy' Karamitsis. His one true love—a '69 Valiant Pacer—and all his assets have just been seized by Federal Police because he trusted the shady Tony the Yugoslav, and Steve's best mate Frank has lost his touch with the ladies after a messy divorce. But fortune favours the 'Wog' when Steve discovers that he's inherited a beach on the Greek resort island of Mykonos from an uncle he never met—a beach worth millions.
Steve liked Celia from the moment they met. But following a clash with her boss, Raelene Beagle-Thorpe, Minister for Employment, he finds himself on national television branded as Australia's biggest dole bludger. Now Steve has to prove to Celia, to himself, and to the whole country, that there's more to him than meets the eye. With a little help from his friends, he might just do it.
