In the cloistered world of competitive surf-lifesaving, an Australian hero is de-throned as the champion by a younger, gay competitor. Jealousy, homophobia and unrequited lust are an explosive mix which culminate in a tragic booze-fueled episode of near-fatal bullying. Based on the acclaimed play by Stephen Davis and following the themes of Dean Francis’ controversial short Boys Grammar, DROWN is a hard-hitting micro-budget drama set against the iconic backdrop of Sydney's beaches.
