In October 2005, five young people were kidnapped in the Highlands of Scotland by the militant Real Animal League. Stripped and abandoned in the wilderness, never for one moment did the friends know what was coming to them. What followed was a harrowing game of cat and mouse as their weekend retreat became a deadly case of live or die.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film was marketed as 'based on true events' despite being entirely fictional—a choice that angered actual animal rights groups who feared copycat vigilantism.
Director Edward Boase previously made commercials; this was his attempt at 'activist cinema' that accidentally became a case study in how not to make propaganda.
