Deep in the Central American jungle, an elite special forces team is on a mission to rescue hostages from guerilla territory. Led by a seasoned soldier, the team comprises tough professionals, each skilled in combat and survival. They are unexpectedly joined by an old colleague, now working for the CIA, who insists on accompanying them for reasons unclear. The mission quickly takes a turn for the worse when they discover the remains of a previous team, skinned and hanging from the trees. As they move deeper into the forest, the soldiers realize that they are being hunted by an unseen adversary. Unusual tactics and booby traps fail to secure them as they face this new, inexplicable threat.

Isolated and outmatched, the team begins to unravel. They're up against an enemy that is not only physically superior but also possesses advanced weaponry, turning the hunters into the hunted. As team members are picked off one by one in a series of brutal encounters, the surviving soldiers must rethink their strategy for survival. Trust in their training and weaponry fades as they grapple with the horrific reality that they may not be facing something of this world. Fear and paranoia set in as they try to assemble the pieces of who—or what—their adversary is before it's too late to save themselves from the lethal predator stalking them from the shadows.
