Synopsis

Against a background of ongoing and systemic corruption, Victoria Police detectives Wilson and Walsh are tasked with solving a series of child murders committed in Melbourne by a serial killer dubbed "Mr. Creep". The film is also dispersed with scenes about a dead body found floating in the Yarra River, where more and more senior police officials instruct it to be ignored and send further downstream, reflecting the corruption and apathy shown by police throughout the film.
