There they are told that at some point in their lives, they crossed Osirus and now must face his revenge. The seven must reach a boat on the opposite side of the island before Osirus and his hunters track them down and kill them.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Thomas J. Wright later became prolific in television, helming dozens of NCIS episodes — this island thriller clearly prepared him for procedural anonymity.
