A group of National Guard trainees is sent into the desert for a routine mission. Their task quickly devolves into a nightmare when they stumble upon a secluded mining camp that appears long abandoned. While scouting the area, they discover a distress signal that leads them to believe there may be survivors in need of rescue. The team, composed of both seasoned soldiers and raw recruits, gears up for a simple search and rescue operation. However, they are utterly unprepared for what they find.

The soldiers encounter a clan of mutant, cannibalistic inhabitants who have made the desert their home, preying on anyone who crosses their path. Trapped in the desolate terrain with limited supplies and no communication with the outside world, the unit must fight for survival against these relentless attackers who know the land better than they do. The desert, already a harsh and unforgiving environment, becomes a terrifying battleground, pitting raw human strength and survival instincts against monstrous brutality.
