Matt joins the outback harvest trail so that he can get another year added to his visa. When he arrives to find that drink, drugs and sex are just as easy to come by as they were on the coast, he thinks that maybe the task ahead of him may not be as daunting as he initially feared. Of course, he is not counting on his new boss.

Rhett is a cruel and miserable Aussie farmer. He expects his workers to graft hard and to do exactly as he tells them. He also hides a deadly secret. Thirty years earlier he was involved in a terrible crime, the truth of which only he knows.

When one of the young travellers inadvertently crosses the old man, bad things begin to happen. One by one they each fall victim to a series of brutal attacks that are not the first of their kind to occur in the town’s history. Matt and his friends soon discover that unless they can unlock the secret of Rhett’s past, none of them may ever make it out of the outback alive…
