The Story:
Young police officer Shane Cooper (Ryan Kwanteen) who's just arrived in remote Red Hill the night before, rises for his first day's duty to discover a one-street community of taciturn, stick-in-the-mud locals. His ornery boss, Inspector William "Old Bill" Jones (Steve Bisley), is suspicious of the big-city transferee, and other colleagues, like Manning (Richard Sutherland), hardly give him the time of day.
Turns out Shane requested to be transferred as his heavily pregnant wife, Alice (Claire van der Boom), needs a stress-free environment in order not to miscarry again. But beneath his friendly, boyish front, Cooper himself also has problems -- and stress-free is hardly the adjective to apply to Red Hill.
In short order, news comes of an explosion at a maximum-security prison in the state capital and convicted wife murderer Dural "Jimmy" Conway (Tom E. Lewis), an expert tracker of Aboriginal descent, is on the loose. Old Bill, the cop who put him away a decade earlier, reckons Jimmy is headed their way for payback and "will be bringing hell with him." He tells a quickly assembled posse of snarling locals they have two hours to lock the town down.
Now caught in the middle of what quickly becomes a horrifying blood bath, Cooper will be forced to take the law into his own hands if he is to survive.
