Fairly sensitive melodrama about life on the back-roads in Australia at the height of the Great Depression. Centring on the developing romance between two drifters this presents a commendable level of period detail. Based on the novel by Kylie Tennant.

As a seasoned homicide detective, Thomas Craven has seen the bleakest side of humanity. But nothing prepares him for the toughest investigation of his life: the search for his only daughter Emma's killer. Now, he is on a personal mission to uncover the disturbing secrets surrounding her murder, including corporate corruption, government collusion and Emma's own mysterious life.

What happens when coincidences are too coincidental? Is a happy life as happy and complete as it should be? Disrupted explores the twists and turns of life, possibilities, and various relationships, in a strange near-future. The film follows the complicated lives of Detective Kathy Jenkins, Matt and Regina Kelly, and the rising star Georgie Taylor, as they realize that life isn't so simple an affair.
