Originally envisioned as a collaborative animated series that anyone could contribute stories to, but later brought back under NeonWabbit's control as a solo effort, the comic follows the adventures of an eccentric kangaroo, Gerald Symons, who accidentally awakens the magical ghost of an emu, named Aurora Australis, while digging for gold and cracking open a geode with his pickaxe. When the crystals of said geode aren't shined upon by sun or moonlight (i.e. stuffed inside a cabinet, or in a building with no windows), Aurora immediately disappears and goes into a stasis state.
After Gerald reveals to her that emus went extinct during the "Great Emu War" of the 1930s, Aurora teams up with Gerald and his three remaining friends (Vivienne MacKenzie, The Tazza, and Kylie Illawarra) to form a ragtag bunch of vigilantes that dedicate themselves to freelance crime-fighting, detective work, and solving disputes between friends.
