Local legend has it that the Hyena Man – a power-obsessed madman who once traded in animal parts – heads a well armed, well trained group of poachers who are on the hunt for human body parts and who are known to trade in live human beings.
When the tourists come across a woman‟s mutilated body, ex-special forces soldier turned game ranger Jack Darwin becomes hell-bent on tracking down the poachers. He leaves the group in the care of his superstitious tracker, Akani (Yule Masiteng).
Jack‟s estranged son Sean (Christopher Beasley) becomes the visitors‟ only hope for survival. But if he‟s going to keep them alive he has to confront his own demons first.
“Night Drive takes full advantage of the bush as a magnificent setting for a hard-hitting thriller,” says Kuun. “In addition, Christopher Beasley makes for an excellent anti-hero. It‟s a great film to add to our increasingly diverse slate and will appeal to fans of films like Deliverance, The River Wild, The Descent, and Judgement Night.”
