Synopsis

A caving expedition goes drastically wrong in horror set in North Carolina

A year after a tragic accident involving her family, Sarah arranges to go cave-exploring with her friends. They descend into the cave’s mouth and pass into a narrow tunnel, when the cave collapses. Juno admits that she took them into an unmapped tunnel, so rescue is impossible. Amidst panic and injury, humanoid creatures emerge from the dark. Hungry for their flesh, the creatures trap the humans and escape becomes ever more unlikely.
