In a remote mountain range, six girlfriends meet for their yearly
adventure, a caving trip into the arteries of the earth. The group
makes their way through the remote cave system, enjoying the hazardous
but beautiful surroundings. Then, deep inside the cave, disaster
strikes when their route back to the surface is blocked by a rock fall.
When they learn that Juno, always pushing herself that little bit
further, has brought them to an unexplored cave, and that no one is
coming to rescue them, the group starts to splinter. Left with no other
option, they push on through the cave, praying for another exit. The
women battle through this harsh underground world, pitting their
strength and determination against each new challenge. Unbeknownst to
them, there is something else lurking under the earth, a race of
monstrous creatures hidden from the light, evolved to live perfectly in
the dark. As the friends realize they have become prey, they are forced
to unleash their most primal instincts to face the creatures. As old
wounds break open and loyalties disintegrate, the women realize the
horrible truth-they have most to fear from one another
"I reject your reality and substitute my own."
-Adam Savage
