Episode List

The Portal

When Brett discovers a mysterious portal leading from his basement bedroom in Perth, Western Australia, to the cellar of a boarding school in Galway, Ireland, he can't resist trying it out. Caught near the girl's showers, Brett flees, but is saved by Hannah, a no-nonsense schoolgirl who is about to give him up until he tells her about the portal. With the teachers and police on the lookout for a fugitive, Hannah smuggles her crazy Australian friend back to the cellar and they go through to Perth. Realising that the portal is real, Hannah agrees to keep the incredible discovery a secret and goes back to Ireland. Now that the portal has been opened, Brett and Hannah's lives will never be the same.
