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. Winner of six awards, including Best Film and Best Director, at the **Film Critics of Australia Awards.** Nominated for a Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema - Dramatic at the **Sundance Film Festival.** *"...kicks off with a wallop, then constantly confounds expectations by approaching its subject matter from fresh directions." - Michael Rechtshaffen, **The Hollywood Reporter***
