To prove he is rehabilitated and secure his release, Chopper marries new flame Mary Ann and starts a family — but the only woman who could ever look past ‘Chopper’ and see the real Mark is his true love, Margaret.
Intercutting between Chopper’s comedy routine in 2002 and his past in Tasmania, his fixation on Syd only grows. Ever since the shooting, Syd has haunted Chopper’s recollections, but the spectre of Syd is now bleeding into his present, begging the questions: Is this a haunting of resentment? Or is it a sign of a guilty conscience? Did Chopper shoot and later kill Sydney Collins? Or was he framed? The deeper we dig into the embellished retrospects of one of Australia’s most notorious standover men, the further away the truth becomes.
