The winner of multiple Australian Academy (AACTA) awards, including best director for Justin Kurzel and best actor for Daniel Henshall, this harrowing crime drama is based on true events surrounding a series of murders committed throughout the 1990s in the outskirts of Adelaide, Australia.

When 16 year-old Jamie (Lucas Pittaway) is introduced to a charismatic man, a friendship begins.
