Outback Australia, 1859. Three weather worn men sit around a campfire eating from dented cans of beans and drinking from battered leather sacks of water. Murray, the eldest of the trio, is badly injured, with signs of gangrene. Barry, the leader of this expedition, knows the stakes. Having gangrene in a hostile environment such as the outback is a death sentence, especially when food and fresh water supplies are critically low and the nearest town is 100km away on foot. If Barry is to see his wife and boy again, he must convince Patrick that killing Murray is the only humane choice. Their survival depends on it.
