When Toad (Rattus Rat) emerges from a violent bashing they are helped by three incompetent adventurers (Gloria Bose, André Shannon + Freya Aisbitt) who leave them, with some cash, on the side of a country road. The film circles back to uncover how and why these grifters found themselves in the middle of the bush, during Mardi Gras searching for a mysterious cult called The Energy. Narrated by AACTA award winning Enoch Mailangi featuring the incomparable Lily Bennett as Elizabeth, an Australian-American true crime podcaster, Grape Steak is a portrait of a certain time in Sydney told through the eyes of a specific type of Sydneysider.

Grape Steak is a wishfully ambient portal, a love-poem of trauma and humiliation set in Sydney, a slow comedy for a come-down, made resourcefully and communally over five years.
