“I mean, what really happened to Jack and Jill at the top of that hill? All we know is that whatever it was, it ended badly, okay? So please, just stop.”
When his estranged father dies unexpectedly, Christopher is obliged to venture from the isolated rural town of his childhood to the unfamiliar inner-city home of his half-sister Jillian, a charismatic young artist whom he has never met.
Christopher quickly ingratiates himself with Jillian’s housemates and sometime protégés, volatile artistic duo Kil and Bear, who sense opportunity and secretly adopt Christopher as their next project.
Nicknaming him “Jack”, the pair work competitively to transform the impressionable young man’s identity, resulting in a dangerous game that sends moral compasses haywire, with devastating consequences.
This challenging new work by emerging local artists is an intimate portrait of loss, passion, morality and obsession.
