PlotA group of graduate students, accompanied by their professor Dr. Ernst Prell, embark on an expedition to a remote island to investigate reports of the legendary Yeti. As part of their anthropology class, they hope to find evidence of the creature's existence and add groundbreaking findings to their research. The students, excited but skeptical, set up camp in a cabin owned by Dr. Mel Johnson, a local guide who claims he has encountered the creature before. As night falls, the party starts experiencing strange occurrences and hears unnerving sounds in the wilderness surrounding them.
Tensions rise among the group as the situation becomes increasingly perilous and some students disappear under mysterious circumstances. Suspicions and paranoia grow as they struggle to differentiate between reality and deception, wondering if they’re being hunted by the Yeti or if something more sinister is at play. With fear escalating, the students’ sense of safety crumbles, pushing them to question each other and their own beliefs. The area reveals a dark history and a dire warning that staying on the island could lead to their doom. What initially seemed like an academic endeavor morphs into a frightful battle for survival as the real threat lurking in the shadows begins to reveal itself. It's a haunting journey that challenges perceptions and tests the students' tenacity amidst an atmosphere rife with mystery and dread.
