After a personal tragedy, Sarah joins her friends on a caving expedition in the Appalachian Mountains. But when a rockfall traps them deep underground, their adventure turns into a nightmare. As they search for a way out, the group discovers they are not alone—lurking in the darkness are savage, cave-dwelling creatures. With rising tension and dwindling trust, the women must fight to survive against both the predators and each other.
Sarah seeks solace in the claustrophobic silence of the Appalachian caves, only to find herself trapped in a literal tomb. Once the rockfall seals their exit, the true terror emerges from the pitch-black shadows in the form of hungry, pale predators.
