Synopsis:

A careless vacationing couple in Australia start a forest fire, run over a kangaroo, destroy a tree, shoot an animal for sport, and break an eagle's egg, and Mother Nature really gets ticked off.

'Uses the Horror genre superbly, with shock effects that linger in the mind' FILMS AND FILMING`

Attempting to resurrect their failing marriage, Peter (John Hargreaves) and Marcia (Briony Behets) set out on a camping trip to a deserted stretch of the Australian coastline in the hope that a long weekend in the sunshine will help them patch up their differences.

They trample through the countryside, destroying everything in their tracks, carelessly scattering their rubbish and shooting anything that moves. Their callous disregard for the environment soon becomes apparent when the animals start to seek vengeance. Marcia and Peter have proved themselves to be wanton destroyers. Can they leave, or will they be destroyed?
