A seguito di un traumatico incidente, alcuni amici decidono di partire insieme per visitare i paesaggi selvaggi della Scandinavia allo scopo di sfuggire brevemente alle loro vite quotidiane e riavvicinarsi l'uno all'altro. Tuttavia, una scorciatoia per loro si trasforma ben presto in incubo. Si ritrovano così persi, affamati e circondati da chilometri di foreste: le cose non potrebbero per loro andare peggio quando si imbattono in un casolare abbandonato, rifugio di qualcosa che si nasconde tra i boschi e che li sta inseguendo.
