A claustrophobic creature-horror film that traps a group of miners underground with an unseen threat, building paranoia and dread through isolation and the unknown.

A group of young miners venture into the Gold Spike Mine in search of gold, even after being warned by old-time prospectors to stay away. The miners proceed into the caverns anyway and soon realize that there’s no gold in these mines, but also that they’re not alone.
