Ray, a married construction supervisor, is having an affair with Carla, who's also married. One fateful day Carla discovers a bag of money brought home by her criminal husband and sees it as her ticket to a fresh start on life with Ray by her side, so she proposes they take the money and run. Ray, reluctant at first, soon comes around and hatches an elaborate plan. But as is the case with plans driven by lust and greed, it seems destined to crash and burn...The fun, and the horror, comes in watching it unfold.

Co-written by Nash's brother Joel Edgerton, who also acts in the film, THE SQUARE has roots in classic noir but is imbued with a vividly distinct sensibility that is all Edgerton. Utilizing their trademark stunts to full effect, the Edgertons have fashioned an intense thriller with equally impactful dramatic elements thanks to fully realized performances by the full ensemble. THE SQUARE is as stylish as it is unsettling. The film's ever-building momentum will grip you and leave you breathless—as much from the film as from knowing that you're witnessing the emergence of directorial force coming up from Down Under.
