A struggling Hollywood actress returns home to ruggedly beautiful Kangaroo Island and confronts the love triangle that tore her family apart.
In a feature debut imbued with emotional depth and natural humour, South Australian Timothy David explores the fragile balance between the destructive and healing powers of family. Actor Lou Wells (Rebecca Breeds) has hit rock bottom after a promising start to a career in Hollywood. Her ex needs her to move out, her friends are distancing themselves from her and her talent agency “just isn’t excited by her anymore”. Truth is, Lou Wells isn’t excited about Lou Wells either. Broke and aimless, she reluctantly accepts a ticket from her estranged father, Rory, to return home to South Australia’s ruggedly beautiful Kangaroo Island. But what begins as a reunion to foster reconciliation turns complicated when Lou and her sister Freya (Adelaide Clemens) learn their father’s secret. Years of tension come to the surface, and Lou must decide whether she will continue to run away from her problems or confront the traumatic events that tore her family apart.
