PlotDuring a sea voyage in the South Pacific, a luxury yacht encounters treacherous conditions and eventually wrecks on a deserted island. The survivors, Bob Rainsford among them, seek refuge and find a seemingly abandoned mansion, only to discover it is inhabited by the enigmatic and hospitable Erich Kreiger. Kreiger reveals himself to be an avid hunter with a sinister twist: he hunts humans for sport. He extends an invitation to the despondent survivors to join him, but soon they realize that their roles are not as guests, but as prey.
Bob and the others must rely on their wits and courage to survive Kreiger's deadly game. As they navigate the dense jungle and face various traps, the tension mounts, testing their resolve and unity. Alongside Eve Trowbridge, Bob forms a desperate plan to outmaneuver Kreiger, drawing on his own hunting expertise and resourcefulness.
