In 1846, a Dutch-Afrikaans family and their British travel companion set off on a challenging journey through the Kalahari Desert. Along the way, they meet Atshumao, a stolid man from the Khoen people. Despite his advice, they attempt to find a shortcut through the unforgiving landscape, unaware that they are crossing paths with two ancient spirits settling a centuries-old dispute by betting on their lives. The group is soon plagued by misfortune, tragedy, thirst, hunger and disturbing visions. As the situation worsens and a primeval beast closes in, paranoia begins to haunt them. How far will they go to survive?
