A bleak survival-horror film where a group of tourists becomes trapped at an ancient ruin with a malevolent, carnivorous organism, descending into desperation and bodily horror.

Americans Amy, Stacy, Jeff and Eric look for fun during a sunny holiday in Mexico, but they get much more than that after visiting an archaeological dig in the jungle.
