Storyline
A man (Jamie Dornan) is searching for answers after an accident in the Australian outback – he has to find out who he was. Because he was chased through the Australian desert by a truck and forced off the road – and has now regained consciousness in a small hospital in the outback with no memory. Can he – with the help of policewoman Helen (Danielle Macdonald) – unlock the secrets of his identity before those who are after him catch up with him and eliminate him?
