Haunted by a childhood crime that sent him to juvenile detention, James, played by Reef Ireland, is released as a young man with a single, burning purpose: to discover what truly happened to the boy he was convicted of drowning. His search pulls him back into the murky, atmospheric world of his past along the Australian riverbanks, a journey that forces uneasy reunions with his strained mother, portrayed by Kerry Fox, and brings him into the orbit of a mysterious older man, Robert Taylor. As James digs deeper, the tense drama from writer-director Grant Scicluna reveals a community shadowed by secrets and simmering tensions, where the truth is as elusive as the river's current. With a supporting cast including Helen Morse and Tom Green (II), this gripping film explores the heavy weight of guilt, the desperate need for redemption, and the dangerous waters one must navigate to find closure.
