Set in the eccentric little backwater town of Karakarook, New South Wales, "The Idea of Perfection" tells the story of Douglas Cheeseman, a gawky engineer with jug-handle ears, and Harley Savage, a woman altogether too big and too abrupt for comfort. Harley is in Karakarook to foster "Heritage", and Douglas is there to pull down the quaint old Bent Bridge. Out of this unpromising conjunction of opposites, something unexpected happens.
