In the shadowy, neon-lit underworld of Sydney's Kings Cross, a dangerous game of desire and deception unfolds in this stylish mystery. Rose Byrne stars as Maisie, a beautiful and enigmatic woman whose life becomes entangled with a charismatic but volatile gangster, McHeath, played by Hugo Weaving. When a young boxer named Art, portrayed by Matthew Le Nevez, crosses their path, he is swiftly drawn into their glamorous yet perilous world, becoming both an object of fascination and a pawn in a larger scheme. As loyalties shift and motives blur, the line between seduction and survival grows dangerously thin. Directed by Jonathan Ogilvie, the film weaves a tense, atmospheric drama where every glance carries a hidden agenda and every alliance is a potential trap. The lives of Maisie, McHeath, and Art spiral into a complex web of betrayal, forcing each to confront how far they will go for love, power, and freedom.
