Nitram lives with his mother and father in suburban Australia in the Mid 1990s. He lives a life of isolation and frustration at never being able to fit in.

However when that friendship meets its tragic end, and Nitram’s loneliness and anger grow, he begins a slow descent into a nightmare that culminates in the most nihilistic and heinous of acts.
“A portrait of a family where love is not enough, it achieves high potency, without crossing into the difficult terrain of begging for sympathy.” SMH
