WHEN GIDEON IS TASERED TO DEATH IN AN IGA, IT SETS HIS SISTER MANDY ON AN IMPOSSIBLE SEARCH FOR JUSTICE.

Gideon has been living with Schizophrenia for 25 years but has started falling through the cracks of the NDIS. He’s stopped taking his medication regularly and is in and out of a public sharehousing. His sister Mandy, an academic and his primary carer, is about to go on long service leave for 3 months. While at the IGA purchasing a packet of SAOs, Gideon ends up in an altercation which erupts. When police are called, Gideon is tasered to death.

Mandy goes in search of justice. Caught in a nightmare of inquiries and free-floating responsibility, she descends into her own form of madness and a final desperate act of retribution.
