'This modern drama centres around the lives of four people in their early twenties. Life remains relatively uncomplicated with the two couples – Lola and Alfio, Sam and Angie – drifting towards a settled future.
'But the certainty of their lives is shattered when Lola, a free spirit, seduces Alfio’s best friend Sam and awakens an intense passion.
'Enraged by this betrayal after the affair is exposed by Angie, Alfio takes his revenge on Sam by challenging him to a knife fight on the banks of Merri creek where the two boys once played as friends.'
