The Story:
Josh (James Frecheville) a teenage protagonist, he’s sitting in front of the television, slack-jawed, watching Dear or No Deal, with an unconscious woman sitting next to him. Moments later, paramedics arrive and we discover that the woman next to him is actually his mother, and that she’s died from a heroin overdose. Josh is forced to go live with his uncles in Melbourne, including Baz (Joel Edgerton) and Darren (Luke Ford), as well as his wizened, loving, and slightly creepy grandmother (Jacki Weaver). The brothers have successfully robbed banks for some time, but Baz is trying to convince brother Pope (Ben Mendelsohn) to get out of this high-risk, low-reward business. When one of the brothers is senselessly killed by police, it propels the entire family into an inextricable cycle of violence that threatens to unravel the entire family.
