  Real-life drama about why in a beautiful and quirky rural town film- maker Jez Lewis' childhood friends are killing themselves. Beginning with a personal quest for understanding the film moves into a year-long drama of human tragedy and redemption as principal character Cass comes to terms with his own mortality and attempts to lift himself out of his cycle of self-destruction. This core narrative carves an upward arc through an intimate study of a place often described as paradise but which harbours an undertow of lethal hedonism and disillusionment. As people continue to kill themselves during the making of the film a maelstrom of conflicting values throws up unexpected truths about the human condition.
