THE STORY

But the majestic calm is suddenly shattered when one of their team is brutally slain by sniper fire For the remaining four it becomes a terrifying fight for survival against a ruthless and determined hunter and the merciless and ever-changing weather of the Scottish Highlands. Testing their bonds of friendships to the limit as they fight to survive.
STRUCTURE
While the killer is an ever present threat, our story focuses entirely on the survey team. This is a story of human resilience and our ability to overcome seemingly impossible challenges. Above all it is a story of friendship and the invisible ties that bind us.
We never reveal any humanity in the killer, treating him instead like a malevolent force of nature.
This is a story of ordinary people thrust into
extraordinary circumstances, victims of a situation they did not create nor deserve
WHY
The world is in a state of flux.
Every day around the globe, people are thrown into terrible situations beyond their control. The feeling of a malevolent force pushing us towards a darker future is embodied in this film and put into stark contrast with the power of the human spirit.
The world needs stories of humanity and FILM brings us together unlike any other medium.
Despite its dark premise, this is a story of resilience, hope and friendship in desperate times
