Deep in the dense, isolated forests of West Virginia, a group of thrill-seeking college friends—Alex, Trey, Brent, and Sophie—are brutally attacked by Three Finger, a hideously deformed, cannibalistic mountain man. While
trying to escape in their ATV, Brent and Sophie are murdered, leaving Alex and Trey stranded and hunted in the unforgiving wilderness. Meanwhile, seasoned prison transport guard Nate Wilson and his rookie partner Walter are tasked with transferring a dangerous group of maximum-security inmates to a new facility. The bus includes the ruthless mobster Chavez, his vicious underling Floyd, the cold-blooded serial killer Lundy, and the unpredictable, knife-wielding psychopath Brandon. During the journey through the remote backroads, Three Finger ambushes the transport using a spiked log barricade, causing the bus to violently crash down a steep embankment. In the immediate aftermath of the wreckage, Nate, Walter, and the surviving convicts are forced to navigate the treacherous terrain together. Chavez quickly seizes control, forcing Nate at gunpoint to remove his handcuffs and lead the group toward safety. Unbeknownst to them, the forest is a hunting ground, and Three Finger is relentlessly tracking their every move, using deadly traps, razor-wire snares, and hunting arrows to pick them up one by one. As tensions mount, Alex and Trey stumble upon the inmates and join forces with them to survive the nightmare. Paranoid and desperate, Chavez attempts to murder anyone who slows him down, but the inmates begin falling victim to the cannibal's gruesome traps. Lundy is brutally slaughtered, and Walter meets a grisly end while trying to protect the group. Amidst the chaos, Brandon begins to show a strange, sympathetic nature, forming a fragile bond with Alex as they fight for their lives. After a series of
violent confrontations, explosive traps, and bloody skirmishes, Chavez betrays his remaining crew, stealing a stash of hidden money bags that were previously stolen and buried in the woods by another criminal years ago. However, his greed ultimately leads to his demise when Three Finger catches him off guard and slaughters him. In the final, harrowing showdown, Nate and Brandon manage to outsmart and severely injure Three Finger, seemingly ending the cannibal's reign of terror. Believing they have finally escaped, Nate and Brandon reach civilization as morning breaks. Yet, the nightmare is far from over. As Brandon looks at the stolen money bags left behind by Chavez, the temptation proves too great. He decides to keep the cash, but before he can walk away, a mysterious hook pulls him violently into the shadows, revealing that Three Finger's murderous legacy lives on.
