Filmmaker Indy Davies has recently adopted a shy, quirky ex-racing greyhound named Georgie, who has quickly become his best mate. When he attempts to uncover Georgie’s shadowed past, it sets him on a journey deep into Australia’s divisive greyhound racing industry.
As Indy searches for answers, voices from both sides of the track emerge: a trainer with a proud family legacy, a whistleblower burdened by what he can’t forget, a dog suspended in foster care, waiting for her forever home, and a woman pushing for systemic change in the halls of power. He soon discovers that, at the centre of this world, lie thousands of dogs’ lives and billions of dollars, and people willing to go to great lengths to protect these interests.
The journey also leads Indy back to his childhood home on the wrong side of the tracks, where memories of family tension and buried trauma resurface. Here, he remembers how his dogs were his refuge, offering tenderness in a world that demanded toughness. Through Georgie’s quiet presence, Indy begins to see the parallels between his own upbringing and the racing world he’s been drawn into: both shaped by love, culture and power.
By the end, Indy still doesn’t have all the answers about Georgie’s past, but through the soulful eyes of these gentle giants, he begins to understand the grey areas in the relationship between man and dog, and within himself.
