    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Originally intended to be a quasi-sequel to Lookin' for Lucky (2009), however, the failure of that film and the tension between writer Joe O'Byrne and director Chris Leonard caused this film to be an original film. O'Byrne continued the 'Paradise Heights' saga with several short films, including The Watcher (2011) which he directed.
