Plot Overview
Young couple Ian (Ian Meadows) and Sam (Harriet Dyer) arrive at a remote beach camping spot in the Australian bush for a romantic New Year’s Eve getaway. Upon setting up their tent, they discover an abandoned tent nearby with an SUV parked next to it, but no signs of the occupants.
As time passes and the campsite remains eerily quiet, Ian and Sam discover a traumatized, dehydrated toddler roaming the bush alone. Realizing a family has met a terrible fate, they attempt to flee, only to cross paths with two ruthless local hunters, German (Aaron Pedersen) and Chook (Aaron Glenane). What follows is a brutal struggle for survival as Ian and Sam are hunted through the terrain.
