The first in a planned series of adaptations of John Marsden's young adult novels is an Australian-set drama that tells the story of eight friends who go camping in the bush for the weekend. When they emerge from the wilderness days later, however, their country has been invaded and their lives will never be the same again.
This is the directorial debut of Australian screenwriter Stuart Beattie (Collateral, Australia, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra).
