Storyline

Best friends Dana and Julia drink alcopops in Julia's mum's car, while the boys hang out on a park bench smoking weed. It's time to leave for the party and Julia discovers she has more than a carful, so the boys volunteer to get in the boot. When Dana refuses drive Julia takes the keys, and their fun night out takes a tragic turn. Mixing drama and gross-out comedy, BOOT shows how a good time can inexorably slide into tragedy; how sacrifice can seem like a betrayal; and how guilt is the heaviest burden to bear.
