A visceral survival-horror film that pits isolated hikers against the possibility of cannibalistic descendants in a remote Tasmanian wilderness, built on gore, paranoia, and relentless dread.

An extinct species, the Tasmanian tiger. A long-forgotten legend, “The Pieman” aka Alexander Pearce, who was hanged for cannibalism in 1824. Both had a desperate need to survive; both could have living descendants within the Tasmanian bush. Four hikers venture deep into isolated territory to find one of these legends, but which one will they come upon first?
