The Australian outback stretches endless and unforgiving, a raw landscape where silence amplifies every rustle and the horizon hides something far more primal than the wind. Beneath the red dust and cracked scrub, a mysterious force watches the narrow tracks that cut through the desert, its presence hinted at by the sudden stillness of wildlife and the uneasy heartbeat of anyone who dares to stray too close. The film teeters between stark natural beauty and a creeping dread, letting the vastness of the terrain become both a character and a predator that feeds on fear.

Jake Cullen is a weathered local whose life has been irrevocably altered by a tragedy that still echoes across the plains. Though the community knows him as a stoic patriarch, his quiet determination masks a deeper, relentless drive to confront the unseen menace that stole his peace. His connection to the land is intimate, his knowledge of its secret pathways and hidden dangers making him both a guide and a haunted figure whose past fuels a personal quest that will test the limits of his resolve.

Beth Winters, an American wildlife reporter, arrives in the outback chasing a story about how native animals are being transformed into industry byproducts. Her investigative spirit and outsider’s curiosity clash with the rugged, insular way of life, pulling her into a web of local secrets and the unsettling rhythm of the wild. When she disappears, her husband Carl Winters follows the same unforgiving tracks, driven by love and a need for answers that lead him deeper into the hostile heart of the desert.

Sarah Cameron, a researcher who has spent years studying the region’s pig population, stands as the only voice willing to acknowledge the growing unrest among the creatures. Alongside her are two rough‑around‑the‑edges locals tied to the nearby cannery, whose pragmatic dealings with the land add a gritty, pragmatic edge to the unfolding tension. Together these characters form a fragile alliance, each drawn by personal motives but united by the same looming, unseen threat that stalks the outback, promising a confrontation where survival hinges on both grit and the willingness to face the unknown.
