The film centers on a woman (Missy Peregrym) who invites her fiancé (Damon Runyan) to her remote cabin in the wilderness to meet her male best friend (Joris Jarsky). As tensions flare between the two men, their deer hunt takes a nightmarish turn, plunging them into a horrifying ordeal.

The screenplay was crafted by Enuka Okuma, with the story developed by Joris Jarsky, Adam MacDonald, and Enuka Okuma.
