A found-footage horror-thriller that blends the Lost Dutchman legend with sci-fi elements, building paranoia and dread through the mystery of three missing filmmakers and an unseen threat in the Arizona wilderness.

In March of 2011, three filmmakers disappeared in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona while documenting their search for the Lost Dutchman mine. Their bodies were never found... but their camera was.
