Bailey, a documentary maker joins ecologists Grace and Ben on a field trip to track and record animals after the recent devastating bushfires. The trio head off into the outback, on route Bailey interviews Ranger Matt, who is frank about his world view. Leaving Matt, they travel deep into the forest. The trio set up camp, Ben cooks dinner, then they set up night calls and put on night-vision devices to detect the heat of the nocturnal animals. Bailey is taken back by their many calls, grunts and noises during the night, it is an active night world. The next day the trio uncover chewed bones scored with teeth marks near one of the tracking cameras. Feral cats, pigs, wild dogs? Ben checks the camera, it stopped recording three weeks ago, there are birds, mice, a native rat, then a rare brush-tail wallaby, when suddenly a dark shape fills the screen and the wallaby is no longer visible. Something got it, but what? The trio press on deeper into the forest to track down the mystery animal.
