The story

The film takes place in 1822 in Tasmania and is inspired by a true story.

Their enthusiasm and bravado soon give way to hunger, which saps their strength and causes them to despair.

Former urban dwellers, the English, Irish and Scottish convicts realise that not only are they lost, but they do not know how to hunt or fish.
