A group of troubled teenagers is led into the wilderness by a social worker for a weekend of rehabilitation and outdoor activities. The teens, who come from diverse backgrounds and have their own personal issues to work through, are each grappling with the challenges of adolescence and facing the trials of growing up. Their journey is meant to be a transformative experience, offering them the chance to bond with each other and gain new perspectives away from the pressures of urban life. As they trek into the dense forests, the stage is set for a confrontation with nature and personal demons, oblivious to the fact that the woods conceal a horrific threat.

Unknown to the youths and their guardians, the forest they have entered is infested with mutated ticks, which have grown to monstrous proportions due to illegal marijuana farmers using steroids to enhance their crop growth. These oversized parasites are voracious and unusually aggressive, posing a deadly threat to anything that crosses their path. As the teenagers settle into the unfamiliar environment, trying to make the best of the situation, they must confront not only the challenges of nature but the bloodthirsty ticks that begin to terrorize them. Tension and fear escalate as the group quickly realizes that what was intended to be a peaceful retreat into nature has turned into a harrowing battle for survival against a seemingly unstoppable menace.
