By day, Robbie (Tom Jennings) and Amy (Nicole Kidman) are students at an Australian university in the near future. By night, they are the champions of a highly competitive martial arts wargame played in an abandoned warehouse. They are able to balance the game with their course loads with no difficulty until the leader of the game--their obsessive martial arts instructor--loses his grip on reality and begins accepting the game as a matter of life and death.
