One cousin. One night. Zero survival instincts. Australian chaos at its finest.
When a young country footballer, Mat, comes to the big smoke to stay with his cousin, all he wants is a quiet night. After a twelve hour odyssey of cops, crazies, harlots and heavies, all he wants is a new cousin.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Sydney's western suburbs, the film captures a specific 2000s Australian masculinity rarely exported — think Wake in Fright via Houso's.
Martin Wilson's only feature; he pivoted to commercials and never looked back, making this a genuine one-off curio.
