On the outside there are old scores and old enemies, as well as a few new ones, like the newly formed Crimes Investigation Commission. With the CIC breathing down their necks and pressure from underworld boss Chicka Martin and corrupt cop Arnie Deviers, it will take Wattsy, Spit and Dabba all their street smarts and rat cunning to stay one step ahead and become square-heads.'

In 1985, the cast and crew of the horror flick Hot Blooded learned first hand about being stalked by a masked killer. When the film's director was murdered, production stopped. Fourteen years later, a group of enthusiastic film students decide to finish the movie. Unaware that every attempt to complete the picture coincided with the murders of those involved, the students return to the original location in an isolated part of the country. After shooting commences on the eerie film location, the students start to disappear one by one.
