Synopsis
In a remote area of the Australian outback, a middle-aged piano teacher returns to his isolated and empty house. Without warning or provocation, five masked intruders dressed in black grab him, tie him to a chair and force him to swallow a bottle of sleeping pills. They wait for him to lose consciousness and, leaving him for dead, get into their car and drive away. Having left a fake suicide note and erasing all traces of their presence, it seems like the perfect crime. Of course, it’s not perfect at all – and when the best-laid plans start to go awry, the already tense proceedings get ratcheted up.
Cast with the crème de la crème of young Australian actors, director Michael Henry utilizes this attractive talent pool to great effect. The nuances of the group relationship are deftly portrayed and as the execution of their plan falls apart, tensions mount.
