In the Australian vernacular "you've got Buckley's Chance" or "you've got Buckley's" means "you have no chance", or "it's nearly impossible". Despite the eventual outcome of his adventure, the phrase is believed to refer to the improbable survival of an escaped convict, William Buckley, who lived among the Aborigines of Victoria, Australia, for thirty-two years, before returning to civilization.
This is a fictional story of his adventures, based on actual events.
