A darkly comedic collision of rival groups in post-riot Sydney that uses absurdist humor and escalating chaos to satirize racial tension and tribal violence.

A black comedy set during the aftermath of the Cronulla riots, it is the story of two carloads of hotheads from both sides of the fight destined to collide.
