Ischaemic

Joshua Miller, a married truck driver, calls the NSW Central Coast his home. He feels oppressed by his own sense of inadequacy, which causes him to underachieve. He indulges in his interest in gay kink by regularly attending a sex club/sauna in Brisbane.

Whenever he's in the club, he loves the sensation of being pushed to his limits by the skilled dungeon master. His pleasure comes from pain, and he craves it above all else. Occasionally, he catches the scent of a teenage boy, and what starts as a quiet, sensual affair always ends in a brutal murder by strangulation.

The existence of an unknown twin brother becomes an all-consuming distraction for him. He can't help but feel envious of his twin's charmed life, which only emphasizes his own failures. Death is heard outside the club scene as he sets about using his propensity for sexual kink and violence to take his brother's life.
