Opens Friday, Jun 7, 2013 Synopsis: Screen veteran Kieran Darcy-Smith (The Square, Animal Kingdom) makes his feature directorial debut with this ambitious non-linear drama centering on a group of Australian friends whose lives are irreparably changed after one of them goes missing during a spontaneous vacation in Cambodia. Alice (Felicity Price) and Dave (Joel Edgerton) are about to become new parents when they agree to join Alice's little sister Steph (Teresa Palmer) and her new beau Jeremy (Anthony Starr) on a sun-soaked trip to Cambodia. Their tropical retreat quickly turns bad, however, when Jeremy vanishes without a trace. As the investigation into Jeremy's disappearance begins to reveal the nefarious motivations behind their trip, the remaining three struggle to carry on with their lives in Sydney amidst the threat that even more damning details will emerge. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Joel Edgerton, Teresa Palmer, Felicity Price, Anthony Starr Movie Details Play Trailer Buy Tickets Movie Review
