"So many snatches come back to him, little moments which are big
moments in hindsight. At eight, a TV program - Hiroshima blast:
men, women, children, their shadows caught and appliqued to walls.
At twenty-five, the collapsing accordion of detonated buildings.
And at thirty-two, sitting at a barbecue, Kerrie kneels beside
him." Rex has always fostered a bleak view of humans. He suspects
the world would be better off without our species. So when a virus,
designed to make pests develop an insatiable appetite for their own
kind, affects humans instead, it is as though Rex's wish has come
horribly true. With his dog, Soldier, he wanders a devastated
landscape armed with a gun and only one bullet. Days-long car
chases ... shoot-outs ... cannibalism ... unyielding desert sun.
His situation deteriorating, he seeks solace in recalling life
before, with his girlfriend. But as these flashbacks become
increasingly real, and fuse with the murderous present, are they
more than memories? Should he turn the gun on himself or has he,
his relationship, and humanity got one more shot? Suspenseful,
shocking, and often brutal, One Shot is both a lyrical evocation of
the unique Australian landscape and psyche, and a thoughtful
contemplation of love, guilt, and ultimate responsibility.
