When a spate of sudden deaths occurs amongst the elderly in Ellie's home town, the South Australian ambulance officer grows concerned. And after a man purporting to be the relative of one of the deceased, but who is clearly not, moves into the old man’s house, she becomes suspicious and alerts a local cop, Nick, who takes her concerns seriously. Nick’s estranged brother Nam has a successful security software company in Sydney, as well as other thriving enterprises. The idea of hastening the demise of the elderly, and in turn freeing up real estate for refugee families in need, is Nam’s. But it is far from a pragmatic scheme with a benevolent intent. Nam’s devoted assistant Lawrence oversees Angus and Jarrod, who are employed to carry out humane euthanasia (quiet end) on the old people, selected because of their lack of family members. But Jarrod is a sadist and not all of the deaths are peaceful. Evidence of this arouses the suspicion of Ellie when she visits some of the post-mortem scenes. It is no accident that Nam has chosen to begin this sordid enterprise in the area where his brother lives and works. Nam’s hatred of Nick runs deep because of an horrific event in their teenage years, and he has been hellbent on revenge. But Nam’s all-consuming spite is about to be tested, and he will realize there are more important things in life than vengeance.
