A gun is pointed to Kat’s (Aaron Jakubenko) head. It’s his gun. Or at least it was after he escaped a chain gang and stole it. Luckily for him though, it’s not fully loaded. But how many bullets are left? He can’t quite remember. And now, with an unknown assailant pulling the trigger, Kat is forced to recall exactly what happened to each bullet.
While the empty rounds click away, memories of wild animal attacks, run-ins with an impulsive police officer (Ryan Kwanten), a down-to-earth arms dealer, and his ex-lover (Melanie Zanetti) come flooding back.
As the pressure mounts, Kat must figure out how many rounds are left and try to devise a plan to escape…one more time.
