Synopsis: Late on a stifling hot night, the close confines of a suburban Perth train become a claustrophobic and bitter psychological battleground. Steve and Trev are two social misfits who have never had 'a fair go'. When Lisa, a beautiful young woman, gets on the train the two thugs vie for her attention, through various boisterous antics, which while comical are still somehow disturbing. The journey rides the uneasy line between comedy and terror as the two thugs turn on the handful of commuters. The pressure cooker situation threatens to explode as they near their Fremantle destination, but by the journey's end the line between aggressor and victim has become blurred. Just who is terrorizing whom? A web of intrigue and power which will keep audiences guessing all the way. | ||||
