Track

Every year the major walking tracks of New Zealand act as a magnet to thousands of visitors from all corners of the world. A large proportion of those visitors will be backpackers in their early twenties who are testing their adult wings for the very first time. Others may be older and some may be trying to solve the riddle of their lives. And prime among the backpackers are those who travel alone. 

Sometimes their paths interact with each other in unexpected ways and strangers may become friends, lovers and even victims in an environment which can show its many faces within a single day. 

Set against the backdrop of the majestic Southern Alps Track follows the story of three such people and the relic of an earlier era, Te Puke. Te Puke of One Thousand Battles. And the enemy that they all face is the power of nature itself.
