Overview

In the arid expanse of the Australian Outback, Jessica operates a wildlife sanctuary where she discovers that a group of hunters have been illegally killing kangaroos on her land for profit. As she confronts the menacing trio, their intimidation escalates from harassment on the road to invasive and dangerous pranks.
