Trailer for West. Pete is a young man who enjoys what life has to offer. He spends his time hanging out on the tough streets of outer suburban Sydney, or drinking at the local pub with his blood brother from childhood, Jerry. The boys love to laugh and have a friendly rivalry when it comes to girls, but Pete knows he s always second in line to Jerry. Into this walks Cheryl, she s sexy confident and dangerous. Pete instantly falls for her; she is the girl of his dreams. But Jerry, as always, gets the girl. Later that night while Jerry and Cheryl are having vigorous sex, Pete is alone, walking the streets. He is confronted by a local thug and his gang, who leave him bruised and bloodied, minus his stash and cash, adding injury to insult. On a double date with Jerry and Cheryl, Pete can t help but think he is with the wrong girl when he is set up with Cheryl s scrawny friend. Still, he s drunk and horny, and she doesn t look that bad. One night when Jerry is at work, Pete is left with Cheryl. The forbidden couple are dangerously flirting when the local thug comes back with an iron bar for another turn. This time, minus his gang, Pete gets the better of the thug. Strangely turned on by the violence Cheryl urges Pete on… In the lonely hours of the night and in the wake of the violence Pete and Cheryl are drawn closer to each other than ever before. Things will never be the same for either of them…
