Escaping the monotony of a loveless marriage, Raymond Yale becomes entangled in an affair with the beautiful and troubled Carla.

Ray’s moral limits are tested when Carla presents him with the proceeds of her controlling husband’s latest crime. This is their chance: Take the money and run... If only it were that simple.

The seed is planted and Ray, fearing he will lose his love, engineers the plan. Hiring the professional arsonist Billy becomes a fatal error, and the plan goes horribly wrong. Alarm bells sound and suspicions are raised but miraculously, the dust looks to settle... After all... Nobody knows. Then the first blackmail note arrives.

The couple’s nerves are tested as both Carla’s husband and the mystery author threaten to throw open their secret… With the blackmailer’s deadline approaching they are going to find out just how far they are willing to go for love.

Loved it!! We need more Aussie films like this. sireness on 15/08/2008 at 10:55:49 AM

Great Aussie movie!Worth a watch shazzy on 13/08/2008 at 11:10:19 AM

Thanks to the comments posted here, I WILL be going to see this film, even though it's not on at Australia Fair (across the road). I think the cinemas need to get more behind our local talent too. OscarBuzz on 13/08/2008 at 11:03:50 AM

This was a fantastic Aussie drama/ thriler. The story was very well written and kept you enthralled to the end. The acting was also very good. The only disappoiting thing was there were only five people in the audience. Australians need to get behind their own films or talented people like the Edgerton brothers will simply disappear.

Seems most people liked this movie. Yea, worth seeing.I'd recommend too. maggy38 on 2/08/2008 at 12:26:14 PM

I'd like why this film is only being shown in selected cinemas. Why doesn't Campbelltown carry it, even though it was part filmed in Appin near Campbelltown? Arokh72 on 31/07/2008 at 7:59:49 AM

I loved it....a great Australian film! Dazzlin on 31/07/2008 at 12:03:25 AM

This movie reminded me why I love Australian cinema so much.A relatively simple plot, very well layed out with that uniquely Australian 'gritty' feel to it.I've never been in a cinema with an audience who react as a whole the way they did during this movie. angelbel on 29/07/2008 at 2:43:53 PM

The short film that played before the movie on Monday nights premiere was so shocking... my knees were shaking clumzea on 28/07/2008 at 9:52:59 PM

oh yeah this movies way cool. very suspenseful AND funny watching this man dig himself into a deeper hole. very australian dry humour. lithium on 27/07/2008 at 6:29:36 PM

Not the sort of movie i'd normally go and see I was pleasantly suprised. Being well written with a fantastic showcase of Aussie actors I was hooked from playful start to shocking end. Go see it. cat146 on 27/07/2008 at 5:58:09 PM

This movie was extremely predictable. It was so formula and basic it made you feel like a 10 year old. It was actually kind of like watching a tropfest film stretched out over 2 hours. I'd ask for my money back but i saw it for free. I honestly don't know why people are recommending this movie? mtd_143 on 27/07/2008 at 3:28:16 PM

I was in a part of this movie. It was flmed at Woronora, I am seeing Monday night for free Yay dommi96 on 27/07/2008 at 12:20:02 PM

My son and I both enjoyed the twists in the movie. when you thought things were bad it just got worse. It would make anyone think twice about having an affair. Another great Aussie pic! kissangel on 27/07/2008 at 12:09:19 PM

I thought the plot has already been used before, however overall it was a solid film with enough suspense and action. ladybeetle on 25/07/2008 at 6:04:32 PM

I can't believe you all think this movie was good. It was so basic, like watching a HSC film, or a tropfest movie stretched out over 2 hours. Poor effort mtd_143 on 25/07/2008 at 4:13:52 PM

It was good to see a unapologetically Australian film,something that really differentiated it from not just Hollywood, but americana. That it isn't afraid to build its suspense with silence is commendable and successful. An engaging ride and well worth seeing. adelle on 25/07/2008 at 4:01:28 PM

Great Aussie movie. Edge of your seat stuff and had me going "I can't watch anymore. Yes, I can, yes, I can." monziebaby on 25/07/2008 at 2:42:31 PM
