'Five angry and motivated young men who launch an anarchistic crime spree against Melbourne, capturing all their nasty deeds on home video. The gang quickly grab the allegiance of the public by targeting members of society we’d all like to see "get nailed". The task of stopping them falls to hardened detective Danny Berdan (Paul Moder), a man not afraid of bending rules to apprehend his prey.'
From the film's press release.
