Tasmania 1822. Alexander Pearce from County Monaghan and seven other transported convicts made a did for freedom from Sarah Island in Macquarie Harbour - considered the most notorious and brutal penal colony in the British Empire. Escaping through territory that to this day remains unexplored, they had little idea of the hazards awaiting them in rough terrain of the Western Tiers. What started out as an escape adventure turned into a tale of survival and cannibalism as the men resorted to killing and eating their companions. Forty nine days later only one man emerged from the wilderness - Alexander Pearce.
