A confronting story of deceit, perversion and abuse, this film delves below the surface of a stagnant Tasmanian mining town into its banal yet insidious core. Just as the beautiful, mountainous forest is mined beneath its surface, Rosebery is at once a setting and a metaphor for the damaging relationships that lurk beneath the surface. We follow Alison, the youngest daughter of the Asquith family, as she plunges into a world of destructive relationships that lead her to a gruesome destiny.
