A  pair of life-long friends try to make a quick buck by selling the organs of a fresh corpse but get thrown a curveball when she wakes up on the operating table.

In a dystopian Australia, perpetually broke best friends, MAC and FETTES, work as orderlies in a hospital, barely scraping by. To escape their dire circumstances, they decide to target the lucrative black market where the rich pay good money for fresh organs from young, healthy (and not so wealthy) corpses.

 

Enter JANE DOE, a beautiful and anonymous corpse, ripe for the picking, conveniently declared dead at their hospital. She’s a Snatchers perfect 10: 100% intact and by all accounts perfectly healthy (albeit a little dead), and worth a squillion.

 

With a bit of luck, a funky dance number and some shady behaviour from Fettes, the two men manage to extract their prize from the heavily guarded hospital, outrun the law and make it to a secluded warehouse. Here they plan to hole up, help themselves to the corpse’s organs and sell them on to the highest bidder.

 

But just as the scalpel touches flesh, the corpse wakes up.

 

Now they have to decide what to do with a not-so-dead body that’s worth a squillion; while the sharp-witted and mysterious Jane Doe (who may or may not actually be dead) manipulates their fears, sowing discord and forcing the men to confront their morality and desperation.

 

Caught between their urgent need for cash, the looming threat of law enforcement, and a not-so-dead Jane Doe, they find themselves in a twisted game of survival. The dark dance of deception reveals the depths they will go to escape their plight, drastically altering the course of their lives.

​

A wickedly entertaining tale of greed, deception and the raw unpredictability of human nature. A rollercoaster ride filled with unexpected twists, dark humour and a chilling game of survival.
