Nicolas Cage is a man pushed to breaking point when a trip to his childhood home puts him at odds with locals, in this Australian-set psychological thriller from Lorcan Finnegan (Vivarium).

Humiliated in front of his son by surf gang the Bay Boys, an unnamed man’s life slowly unravels as he is drawn into an escalating conflict that tests his sanity and identity.

Set against the backdrop of a coastal idyl and featuring a hypnotic, pulsating score, an impressive Cage and exceptional cast delight in this sprightly paced, trippy thriller that nods to Australian New Wave cinema.
