Fresh from a Melbourne jail, Dan is reunited with the love of his
life, Leanne.
A fierce, passionate and tender couple who have learnt to appreciate
the simplest pleasures in life, Dan and Leanne celebrate, and when
surrounded by friends he announces he has resolved to go straight.
Believing he can change with Leanne by his side, Dan finds a job and
slowly builds a new life.
Unforeseen circumstances intervene & Dan, having lived for years on
the verge of excess and violence, is inexorably lured back to crime to
survive.
When a mysterious old criminal friend of Leanne's appears with a
proposition for Dan that could finally provide for the woman he loves,
Dan explodes in jealousy, frustration and uncontrollable rage.
Then Leanne is ripped away from him. How could this happen? Who was
responsible?
Alone now and haunted by damning memories, Dan is sucked helter
skelter into a savage, hallucinatory vortex of primal revenge to take
back what is his.
A searingly intimate story of love, loss, fate and chaos, HAIL is a
visionary maelstrom of unbelievable and mesmeric power unlike anything
you have seen before.
