Description It is 1997 in an Australian city and there are riots in the streets which are patrolled by "sweepers" armed with laser guns. Their purpose is to destroy young people, all of whom have been declared "surplus to requirements in society". Four young people take shelter desperately in an abandoned house in a brief respite from their feral street lives.
