AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Series one:

Two strangers go on the run together after being caught up in a deadly carjacking.

Series two:

In the first season, checkout chick Lola Buckley and accountant Chelsea Babbage were thrown together by fate and circumstance in a thrilling chase across Australia in a car full of drugs and money. After a hair-raising pursuit across the starkly varied landscapes of Australia, the second season sees them journey the length of Thailand and New Zealand as they turn from the hunted into the hunters in an effort to bring the fight to their pursuers and unearth the truth about how and why this whole thing started.
