​
On a cold morning in the middle of country Victoria, two brothers arrive at the family home intent on murdering their stepfather Roger.
Terry and Jeff's motive is simple - killing their step-dad will render their dying Mother's plan to change her will in his favor redundant. A staged "suicide" has been meticulously planned but there is one thing the boys didn't take into account; spending the entire day together.
​
Old grudges, different worldviews and a general troubled history will pit these two brothers against each other. 'Brothers' Nest' is a tragic comedy about family, loyalty and murder - because after all "blood is thicker than water".
​
Brothers' Nest had its world premiere at SXSW Festival in March 2018.
​
The film was released in Australian cinemas on June 21 2018.
