A hens weekend away. An uninvited lesbian. And no way out. 

Ari’s distaste for her best friend Emily’s fiancé has landed her uninvited from the hens weekend away.

So, armed with a bag of ketamine and a resolve to save Emily from a lifetime of bad sex and the intimate hell of mothering a fully grown man, Ari crashes the weekend only to be accused of being an ‘overstepping, self-righteous psycho lesbian’. As Ari tries everything to convince Emily to say ‘I don’t’, the night turns sinister, fuelled by a deadly cocktail of high school resentments and disturbing revelations.

Fear, humiliation, female friendship and a cardboard cut-out of Chris Hemsworth, Getaway is Bridesmaids meets Bodies Bodies Bodies in a grandma-chic Airbnb in rural NSW.
