Through fragmented timelines carefully woven together and a striking blend of black and white and colour cinematography, the film captures a world where justice, memory and morality blur into one.

The Blu-ray release via 101 Films features a slew of special features and a stunning reversible sleeve, please see full details below.
Abigail (Fulton), a young woman consumed by the brutal murder of her father, spirals into a world of seclusion, obsession and revenge. 10 years have passed since her father’s death, and she is hellbent on punishing those who have caused her immense pain.
Through a compelling non-liner structure, Abigail’s world collides with Matt’s (Coombes), a young man whose already turbulent life is upended by the return of his estranged brother, Ewan (Bird), from prison. Matt’s sensitive nature contrasts that of his intimidating criminal brother, who pulls Matt into the dangerous and toxic world he inhabits.
Morals will be questioned and sympathies tested in this powerful and complex exploration of loss, upheaval, revenge and isolation.
Groundbreaking, bold, unconventional, Derelict is a gradual descent into the emotional wreckage left behind by violence and raises the question: is closure ever truly possible?
