While holidaying in Asia, two Australian backpackers, Joanne and Richard, are hauled off a train and taken hostage by Cambodian rebels. A ransom demand is made to the Australian Government for their release. The government refuses to pay. Also kidnapped is French couple Louise and Pierre, who are confident that the French mining company for whom Pierre works will pay the ransom. When Richard and Pierre are executed, Joanne and Louise know their days are numbered and plan their escape.
