The wide open outback offers plenty of space for someone to hide. Or to hide a body. When wiry youngster Mick Taylor starts as a jackaroo at a remote Western Australian sheep station, he tries to keep his head down among the rough company of the farmhands. But he can't keep the devils inside him hidden for long. It turns out he's not the only one with the killer impulse - and the other psychopaths don't appreciate competition. Is Cutter, the station's surly shooter, on to him And what are the cops really up to as they follow the trail of the dead In the first of a blood-soaked series of Wolf Creek prequel novels, the cult film's writer/director Greg McLean and horror writer Aaron Sterns take us back to the beginning, when Mick was a scrawny boy, the only witness to the grisly death of his little sister.
