In an effort to revive their faltering marriage, Peter and Marcia embark on a camping expedition to a secluded section of the Australian coastline, anticipating that a leisurely weekend in the sun might mend their relationship. However, their negligent behavior, including littering, shooting guns, and callously injuring a kangaroo with their vehicle, reveals a blatant disregard for the environment. As the creatures around them begin to retaliate, it becomes evident that Marcia and Peter’s actions have positioned them as adversaries of nature.
