WRITTEN BY Tonci Pivac

An old man tells a BARMAN the story of two homeless guys, FRANK and BURKE.
Despite a warning filled with foreboding from an OLD LADY, TONIA, who is then knocked down by a truck in the street, Burke meets Dalton the following morning, together with HELEN, Dalton’s daughter, Burke is offered the job of general hand.

BURKE is driven to the cabin and meets BILL DE’ANGES and wife VALERY, trapped in a loveless marriage. Burke meets PEDRO GOMAZ and ERIC TUTTIKI.

Later that night, Burke overhears Dalton and Valery in the bathroom, clearly locked in passion.
Early next morning Burke is awoken by Boris at gun point. Dalton enters the room. It is clear that Burke is to be the hunted. He is given a headstart to make good an escape. With hands tied, Burke finds running hard. Pedro cuts the ties and releases him. A game of ‘hunter and the hunted’ ensues.
Bill and Valery argue again and she ends it with a gunshot to Bill’s chest. BURKE kills most of the remaining members of the party, including Helen.
One month later and Burke, intent on revenge hunts Dalton down and kills him.
After visiting the graves of his dead wife GRACE, and child SAMMY, Burke hijacks a hunting expedition as the hunts’ continue. He kills several members of the party.
Back to the bar and the old man walks upstairs and enters the room of the bar owner, RICHARD who is organizing another ‘human stag’. The old man shoots him and is revealed as Burke.
