12 year old Gretchen comes to stay on her uncle's farm for the holidays, but shortly after her arrival strange things start to happen. Gretchen has a passion for science and a talent for all things mechanical, which is why the old brass weathervane ("the daisy rod") fascinates her. But the brass daisy rod has a complex & terrifying significance, and Gretchen plus her new friend Ronny discover its links with the far distant Sirius, the Dog Star.
A six-part science fiction thriller for children, this much loved classic TVNZ series is now available for the first time on DVD.
