Good looking Aussie country boy, Casey, has left home and heads to the big smoke. Quite a steamy movie that starts off with sex at the truck stop on his way to the city. When he first arrives he meets up with Tib on Grinder for a threesome. He ends up staying there and helping Tib out with iTasker jobs. They're not really boyfriends but there is a lot of sex. Casey wants to get closer but they both have issues with family and eventually end up in a fight. Quite an interesting, raunchy look into being young, gay and unwanted. Can only give it 3/5 though as there's not much of a storyline.

Lots of steamy sex but not much of a storyline
Reasonable story for gayexploitation film
In small-town Australia, young gay man Casey can't get what he wants locally, instead causing a deadly scandal. He hitchhikes to Sydney, "to see the ocean".
Living on the streets and by his wits, he hooks up with guys he meets on his phone's online app. One is Tib, who takes him in, providing him with couch, some work, companionship, and sex. But when Tib's own problems causes him to revert to his s promiscuous ways, , things get difficult between them.
There is lots of male nudity and (likely simulated) sex, which leads me to believe the film is geared to a particular audience. However, Casey does have a back story that is slowly revealed, and part of his journey is to let go of his past, and reconcile his feelings of unworthiness with his streak of independence.
Well-acted film
Josh Lavery as Casey and Daniel Gabriel playing Tib were real stars here. I don't recall either of them putting a foot wrong under the tight direction of Craig Boreham. The supporting cast was uniformly good too.
The sex and the nudity didn't bother me at all. These are integral to the lives of young gay guys. Casual sex and promiscuity are a given in much of the queer community. I've lived this and, to me, the guys portrayed were true to life.
As the film progresses, we learn about the background of the two leads, especially that of Casey. Those back stories explain much of the motivations and behaviour of the two protagonists.
I don't want to leave spoilers, but I've reduced the mark to a seven as I thought the ending could have been handled better or written differently. However, all in all, a good film.
