Evoking the style and pace of the Noir genre, the film is essentially a murder mystery with Stanley (Gareth Reeves) the prime suspect. Stanley's success as a novelist has been largely due to his style where he writes from the first person perspective of the central characters, who are always the killers in real-life cases. Troubled with writer's block, his agent suggests a tramping trip "to clear his mind". However, when he wakes up on the first morning of his tramp, he finds his fellow tramper dead.

Nova York, 1933. Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts), uma atriz de vaudeville, enfrenta dificuldades para se sustentar, como vários outros americanos durante a Grande Depressão. Ela caminha pelas ruas de Manhattan pensando na possibilidade de trabalhar em um cabaré, até que a fome a faz roubar uma maçã. Ann é salva pelo cineasta Carl Denham (Jack Black), que oferece a ela o papel principal em sua próxima produção. Inicialmente indecisa, Ann aceita a oferta após saber que o roteirista é o conceituado dramaturgo Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody). Na verdade Carl está em apuros, já que o patrocínio para concluir seu filme inacabado foi cancelado e sua antiga atriz principal abandonou o projeto. Apesar dos problemas, Carl embarca a equipe e o elenco de seu filme no cargueiro fretado S.S. Venture. O objetivo da viagem é chegar na Ilha da Caveira, que tem a fama de abrigar uma raça perdida e várias criaturas consideradas extintas.

Cameron Duncan wrote, directed and starred in this short film, the same year a lump in his knee turned out to be cancerous. Aged only 16, Duncan had already showcased his filmmaking talents on a series of award-winning short pieces made for Fair Go's annual programme devoted to commercials. With DFK6498, he channels his recent experiences into a short, stylishly-shot memoir of incarceration, frustration and freedom lost. The film went on to win a trio of awards at Wanganui's River City Film Festival and win praise from director Peter Jackson.
