Synopsis

This is a story about the wrong person in the right place at the wrong time. Two heinous crimes have left a suburban town reeling. Police quickly connect them but are desperate for witnesses as the local community enfolds itself in a shroud of secrecy, borne from fear and an untrammeled mistrust of authority.

A young police constable, Graham McGahan, suffers from a chronic hearing problem and applies for worker’s compensation. To his chagrin, he is stationed at a police caravan near the crime scene. Living on the periphery of the investigation, McGahan crosses paths with the various people affected by the tragedies and uncovers an unraveling nightmare of guilt and suspicion. —Film Movement

Brilliant Australian crime drama that slipped beneath the radar. Awesome use of sound design, impressive cinematography and a great performance from Brendan Cowell. Well worth seeking out.

Glad I didn't miss this film. It was a good thriller. Has the irony & depressing effects that did not fail. The atmosphere was well created to support the overall story. Nice.
