Three backpackers traveling across the Australian outback visit a remote meteorite crater. When they return, their car won't start, leaving them stranded. They are found by a seemingly friendly local bushman who offers them help and shelter. His assistance soon turns into a nightmare as he reveals himself to be a merciless predator hunting them for sport in the vast, isolated wilderness.
