Synopsis:

Brett Sprague is a violent and psychopathic man, who is released on parole after serving a sentence for assault. As he returns to his family house and we watch him and his brothers, Stevie and Glenn, for the next 24 hours, it becomes clear this day will not end well.

Notes:

Debut feature by Rowan Woods is a riveting and unsettling examination of a family in crisis. The language of violence infects the screen and forces us to confront an increasing crisis in Australian domestic life even more today that when the film premiered in 1998.

Reviews:
