SYNOPSIS
On the dark wet streets of Glasgow, Neal McBride's a cop who likes to go undercover - the rest of the police wish he'd stay there. Nobody cares except McBride who has two outstanding qualities; he hates the rich people and he can't keep his mouth shut. When he arrests a corrupt city councillor who's cornered the corrupt cabbage market, McBride is re-assigned to somewhere as far away as possible, in fact where they used to send the criminals; Australia.
Lancelot Cooper's a Sydney cop but a country boy at heart; he loves the sun, surfing, motorbikes and he's as trusting as McBride is suspicious. Lancelot's recently retired ex-partner and best mate is Gavin Walker. He also taught Lancelot everything he knows about police work, and saved his life more than once. Compared to Gavin, McBride's a sour, downbeat companion, and Lancelot doesn't take to him easily. When McBride bluntly informs Lancelot that Gavin was on the take from De Santos the richest, most dangerous property shark in the territory, Lancelot begins to doubt that he can work with his new partner. Then Lancelot's shot at on his surfboard and almost burned alive in a blazing building.
McBride's sharpening his harpoon, Lancelot's wrecked by betrayal. The question is, will they end up partners before they end up dead?
"David Elfick turns his hand to direction with positive results. He's made a well paced, entertaining yarn significantly more intelligent than the norm. The pic is unusually enjoyable because the characters are well written and well played. Elfick makes his move to the director's chair with confidence and styles. He delivers an entertaining package that pumps new life into a tired formula."
