In this riveting thriller, the lives of David, Aaron, and Troy collide in a harrowing narrative of vengeance and moral reckoning. As the film unfolds, we see David and Aaron meticulously planning a dark retribution for Troy, who is unsuspectingly going about his weekend. Their motive? Avenging the rape and murder of Stephanie, David's wife and Aaron's sister, a crime Troy committed 12 years prior and for which they believe justice was inadequately served. The duo's plan spirals into a tense and morally ambiguous journey, as they kidnap Troy and subject him to a brutal interrogation in an isolated bushland.

As the narrative progresses, the ethical landscape becomes increasingly murky. David’s resolve wavers in the face of Troy’s pleas for mercy, showcasing the inner turmoil and conflict that vengeance breeds. The arrival of Brian, an unwitting neighbour, injects a wild card into their plan, leading to unforeseen complications and a desperate bid for freedom by Troy.

This film masterfully navigates the thin line between justice and vengeance, pushing the audience to question the morality of the protagonists’ actions. With suspenseful plot twists and deeply flawed characters, it challenges viewers to consider the complexities of forgiveness, the possibility of redemption, and the devastating consequences of taking the law into one’s own hands.
