SYNOPSIS
Brazil. Beautiful women, pristine beaches, a friendly,
open culture. Alex (Josh Duhamel) is accompanying
his sister Bea (Olivia Wilde) and her best friend
(Beau Garrett) for their first time abroad –- young
Americans who have come to exotic Brazil for fun,
adventure and the promise of foreign pleasures. On
a rickety bus rocketing up a twisting mountain road,
they meet Pru (Melissa George), the only one among
them who speaks the native language Portuguese,
and Finn and Liam (Desmond Askew and Max
Brown), who just want to experience for themselves
the beautiful Brazilian women they've heard so
much about. But when their driver loses control and
they are lucky to escape with their lives, the new
friends find their way to a cabana bar on a nearby
beach where a party is just getting started. A hazy
night of exotic liquors and sensuous dancing later,
they wake up alone, their possessions gone, and
only the faintest traces of the nightmare to come on
their lips. Their anger turns to fear as they are led
farther and farther from the possibility of escape. A
dark secret waits for them in the lush jungle and
underground caverns of the Brazilian mountains,
and the more they try to escape it the deeper they
are driven into a nightmare of human hunting and
unspeakable crimes, where they must fight a primal
battle for their lives in the most terrifying of all
human traps.
