Spoilers ahead
Documentary-style thriller that unfolds largely in the dim, forgotten tunnels beneath Sydney, with the narrative framed by an on-camera crew chasing a story and intercutting with post-event interviews. Natasha Warner is a determined journalist who believes the government’s sudden reversal on recycling millions of litres of trapped water signals a hidden truth. As drought and water shortages push officials to take drastic steps, she, along with her team—Steve Miller the camera operator and Jim ‘Tangles’ Williams the audio engineer—plus a producer simply named Peter, aim to penetrate the tunnels themselves to uncover what really happened. Their investigation begins with a guarded entry by a security guard, Security Guard, whose refusal to permit access becomes a зов of the escalating peril they will face.
