The reality show becomes a little too real as the celebrities get stranded in the Hunua ranges with no wilderness skills to help them. But the elements are not their only concern, as it appears they have stumbled into a secret Maori militant training camp. The militants take Brooke Howard Smith and Claire Chitham hostage and make a series of impossible ransom demands to be met within 24 hours. While the authorities struggle to locate them and the deadline draws closer, it soon becomes apparent that their only hope may lie in the trembling and overly manicured hands of Joel Tobeck and Jaquie Brown.
