Centring on a friendship between 17-year-olds Billie and Laura, Galore documents the familiar growing pains and coming-of-age of Australian teenagers. Set in the summer holidays, with the sweltering heat of Canberra and threatening bushfires on the horizon, matters are further complicated when Billie develops feelings for Laura’s boyfriend, Danny. 

Father James Lavelle is informed, during confession, of a parishioner’s intention to kill him in retribution for sexual abuse he received from another priest as a child. Calvary follows Lavelle’s subsequent week as he contends with the sins of his flock, and the looming confrontation the following Sunday when he may be killed.
