Storyline
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.

“Making the book into a television show makes it feel so much more real and so much more like a real rock documentary.”
