Synopsis
The film follows the journey of eight high school friends in a
remote country town whose lives are suddenly and violently upended
by a war that no one saw coming. Cut off from their families and
their friends, these eight extraordinary teenagers must learn to
escape, survive and fight back against hostile military forces.
Stuck helping her parents on their country farm, 17 year-old Ellie
Linton (Caitlin Stasey) plans one last adventure before school
holidays end – a camping trip to a remote vegetated sinkhole
located in the bush that the locals have ominously dubbed Hell.
Having arranged to borrow her parents Land Rover, Ellie invites
several of her school mates along for the adventure. Best friend
Corrie (Rachel Hurd-Wood) and her boyfriend Kevin (Lincoln Lewis),
Fiona (Phoebe Tonkin); Homer (Deniz Akdeniz); Robyn (Ashleigh
Cummings) and Lee (Chris Pang) set off to enjoy themselves.
When they arrive at Hell they find a lush, idyllic paradise awaiting
them. The sinkhole turns out to be a hidden paradise, complete with
a stream and waterfall – the perfect location for friendships to
be forged and romances to blossom. Over the next week, the outside
world becomes a distant memory – that is until a several squads of
low-flying jets make an unexpected appearance in the night sky.
Returning to their small hometown of Wirrawee, the seven teenagers
soon realise something is dreadfully wrong. The town is without
power, pets and livestock have been left dead or dying and, most
alarmingly of all, all their parents have vanished.
