A non-stop gripping thriller that leaves you holding your breath at every turn.
  
When Heather and Tom decide to take a sightseeing trip, their kids Olivia and Owen, persuade them to visit a private island where they are promised koala and kangaroo sightings. 
  
When an accident leaves 1 dead, everyone ends up fighting for their lives. Even those that live on the island.
