Inspired by the true stories of New Zealand's street gangs across 30 years, we follow Danny at three defining moments in his life as he grows from a boy into the violent enforcer of a gang.
Acting
Jake Ryan's transformation across three eras is quietly devastating.
Cinematography
Rural New Zealand as both paradise and prison — stunning and suffocating.
Direction
Sam Kelly's debut? Unbelievably assured. Three timelines, zero hand-holding.

Sam Kelly
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Savage Hutt chapter was real; Kelly spent years embedded with NZ street gangs to capture authentic Māori and Pacific Islander gang culture rarely shown on screen.
The three Dannys never share screen space — a deliberate choice to show identity fracture, not continuity.
