Nitram is set to explore the events leading up to the real-life devastating mass shooting in Port Arthur, Australia, which claimed the lives of 35 people. Following the tragedy, the Australian government enforced strict changes to its gun control laws.

“Nitram lives with his mother and father in suburban Australia in the Mid 1990s,” reads the synopsis. “He lives a life of isolation and frustration at never being able to fit in. That is until he unexpectedly finds a close friend in a reclusive heiress, Helen. However, when that relationship meets a tragic end, and Nitram’s loneliness and anger grow, he begins a slow descent that leads to disaster.”

The film stars Caleb Landry Jones (Get Out), Essie Davis (The Babadook), Oscar Nominee Judy Davis (Husbands and Wives, Naked Lunch), and Anthony LaPaglia (Empire Records).
