In Lightning Ridge, in the Australian outback, Kellyanne, daughter of an opal miner, has two invisible friends: Pobby and Dingan. Only she can see them; her brother Ashmol doesn't believe in them. When they disappear, Ashmol organises a search across town to save his sister, who is wasting away with grief, and ends up doubting his scepticism.
