Romantic English couple meets a disarming American psychopath while vacationing in Australia.

A contemporary psychological thriller in which a young British couple travelling through the Australian outback becomes involved with a mysterious and charismatic American whose motive for imposing his friendship upon them becomes increasingly suspect and sinister.—Anonymous

When British Alex arrives alone in Sydney, he meets handsome American Taylor who takes him out for drinks. Next morning, Alex awakes completely wasted and sleeping with a girl on the floor as Taylor takes a Polaroid picture of them. Since Alex is going to Byron to meet his girlfriend Sophie, Taylor offers him a lift. In Bryon, Sophie introduces Taylor to her friend Ingrid, and the two couples plan to travel together; however, when Ingrid does not meet them the next morning, Taylor explains she decided to travel with a girlfriend instead. Along the journey, Alex realizes that Taylor is a manipulative psychopath obsessed with Sophie, but Sophie believes Alex is just jealous without reason and does not give credence to his fears. When a car accident in a lonely area leaves Alex with a head wound, Taylor ups his game, intriguing one against the other. When Sophie later receives a text from Alex saying he's left, she accepts a ride from Taylor but eventually learns the truth about her new friend.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
