Based on the provocative novel by acclaimed writer, Christos Tsiolkas, and re-uniting key creatives who brought us "The Slap", Barracuda is an unflinching look at Australia's national obsession with sporting heroes. It's a brutal clash of cultures, dreams and expectations and the relentless demands we place on our young athletes, their families, schools, friends and coaches.
