Sid Vere (played by Ashley Rice) is worried that his dad Tye (Daniel Hill) is having some kind of midlife crisis on Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

Since the breakdown of his marriage, Tye has moved in with son Sid and his housemate, Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee).

After a short-lived romance with Martine Toole, during which he experimented with some illicit substances, Tye has now announced some BIG travel plans.

But Sid continues to worry that his dad is not thinking clearly and Tye's planned trip could turn into a DISASTER!

Sid seeks advice from his counsellor co-worker, Jimmi Clay (Adrian Lewis Morgan), who suggests Sid do a background check into Tye's travel plans to put his mind at ease.

But Tye seems determined to depart on the trip, as he goes on an excessive shopping spree for travel essentials...
