A wilderness thriller that trades on isolation and mounting dread as a guide and influencers venture into remote, mythologically charged terrain where nature itself becomes a source of horror.

A local guide is asked to lead a group of influencers along the river of a remote valley. As they get deeper into the wilderness, their venture takes a frightening turn.
