'Recently engaged Irene (Shabana Azeez, also in Run Rabbit Run, SFF 2023) has been roped into joining her awkward but loving fiancé Louie’s (Mackenzie Fearnley) buck’s party weekend out in the sticks. Louie’s deadbeat groomsmen, however, have more in mind than just a quiet glass of pinot by the fire, and as night falls the celebration nosedives into a feverish, drug-fuelled train wreck. Inspired by the likes of Wake in Fright, directing duo Jack Clark (Threshold, SFF 2021) and Jim Weir present a challenging, darkly comic portrait of young Aussie men that strikes a little too close to home.'
