Dark and brooding, 'dutch' is the story of Zak and Daniel, two brothers whose troubled childhood has plunged them into a life of addiction and psychological trauma. Against the advice of their kind therapist, they flee to Hong Kong where they embark upon a drug and alcohol-fueled rampage.

The journey is heart-breaking, shocking and uncomfortably funny, culminating in a bitter-sweet climax that sees the brothers finally come to terms with the horrors that befell their youth.
