After the death of his brother on the road, unemployed and unstable drifter Arthur Waldo stays for a while in the rural Australian town of Paris as the guest of the mayor, who hopes he will become a permanent member of the Paris population. Arthur soon realizes the quaint hamlet has a sinister secret: they orchestrate car accidents and rob the victims.

Viewing Notes
Pretty cool drama/horror/comedy that focuses on the Australian town of Paris where car accidents are rigged and the victims are used as experiments while the cars are repurposed for a Mad Max style type of racing.
