Burnout

Seventeen year old Jed struggles to find his place in the world. His mum works late every night and school is simply a place to avoid. When Eli, his larger than life best mate, returns from suspension, Jed doesn't know how to bridge the distance between them. Instead, they drink, smoke, and run amok. When Jed lets slip that he knows where they could steal a car, he sets into motion an exhilarating and dangerous journey through the night. As these two young men realise the gravity of their actions, they are forced to confront the limits of their friendship.
