Best friends Mary-Ann (Foster) and Sandy (Thompson) are finally taking their dream expedition to New Zealand. They are accompanied by their teenage daughters Jaretha (Gillette) and Kerry (Nicoll). Issues of first night frights from the local wildlife and daughters that can't stand each other become insignificant when they come face to face with Kiwi poachers. No match for gun-toting guys, the four find themselves held prisoner and fearing for their lives.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Dale G. Bradley spent his career in Kiwi genre films, including several Hercules and Xena episodes — this is his 'serious' survival thriller phase.
The 'kiwi' in the title refers to both the bird and slang for New Zealanders, making this possibly the most literal film title of 1998.
