    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In preparation of her role as an ex-stripper, actress Teresa Palmer visited strip-clubs and working strippers in California, USA.
    • Goofs
      Andrew's car is a Mercedes 190SL Roadster. As it started a couple of times, its distinctively lolling idle speed sound is heard.

      In one scene, a person is unconscious in the same car with a garden hose leading exhaust fumes into the cabin. There is smoke all over, but the engine appears not to be running.
