In the remote hills of New Zealand, a family is taking advantage of the off-season to have the wilderness to themselves.

But when they run across two violent drifters, the idyllic holiday turns into a nightmare.

And as the story unfolds, this seemingly random act of violence reveals a connection to a long buried secret.

In the Drawing Room, director James Ashcroft and actor Erik Thomson discuss their new film, Coming Home In The Dark, based on a short story by Owen Marshall.
