The bushwalkers unwittingly enter the territory which a psychopath believes to be his. In the heart of a hidden valley, they make an horrific discovery. Someone evil is among them. From then on they are engrossed in a struggle for survival. Each is forced to face their deepest fears. They are pitted against the extremely difficult terrain at night, as well as the relentless hunter.
