In a desolate landscape of Tasmania, a solitary and traumatized hunter, portrayed by Willem Dafoe, embarks on a dangerous mission: to find and capture the last of an extinct species of Tasmanian tiger. A man who has been through war and lost loved ones, his life is an echo of suffering and solitude. With the promise of a generous reward offered by a powerful corporation, he accepts the challenge and ventures into the dense jungle, where nature becomes both his ally and his enemy.
As he delves into the relentless pursuit, the hunter encounters an enigmatic local family that has grappled with their own ghosts. His connection with them confronts him with his humanity, awakening memories of his past life and putting his morality to the test. The tension between the need to fulfill his mission and his growing empathy for those around him creates an internal battle that intensifies as the plot unfolds.
As he ventures deeper into the jungle, the repercussions of his actions and the greed of the industry come to light, leading the story to an exciting and emotionally harrowing climax. It is a journey that explores obsession, loss, and the struggle for redemption in a world where the line between hunter and prey becomes increasingly blurred.
