The group go to a cabin in the woods, owned by Rudolph's family, where they are warned by a man named Gerry to not wander too far into the woods. Rudolph explains they will be staying there for the weekend for a series of trust building exercises. They find the fridge empty so they have to hunt. Rudolph gets everyone to go out in groups of 3, while he stays in the cabin to smoke weed.

The group of Dwight, Sophia and Tyler head out to find some fish, with Sophia and Tyler making fun of Dwight, they eventually abandon him to have sex and Dwight gets lost, when trying to find his way back, he discovers an industrial estate and decides to see if he can find a phone. He gets creeped out by the hooks around the area.

The employees return to the cabin with food. When Rudolph notices Dwight missing, he has everyone look for him in the woods when the phone rings and Dwight tells them he is at a place called 'MacMillan Industrial', Rudolph goes to find Dwight when Gerry arrives, saying that if Dwight is at MacMillan Industrial, he's a dead man, as he is now a pray to 'The Trapper'. Rudolph has everyone split up to find Dwight.

Dwight finds a note from 'Benedict Baker', warning of an entity that recruits psychopaths to be his killers to provide him with sacrifices. Dwight hears noises and sees a figure with a machete leaving the area. Gerry talks to Rudolph and says that 'The Trapper' is a psychopath responsible for multiple murders in the woods.

Katherine, Sadie and Josephine search for Dwight together when they hear a sound and Katherine heads over to investigate, when she steps in a bear trap. Josephine goes to help her free herself from the bear trap when she and Sadie see a man with a machete standing over Katherine, who slashes her back with a machete, Sadie and Josephine run away while the man carries Katherine on his shoulder.

Dwight searches the area more where he discovers a newspaper clipping of a mass murder where a man called 'Evan MacMillan' lured over 100 MacMillan Estate workers into a cave before detonating some explosives that caused the cave to collapse and kill the workers. Dwight hears the man return and sees him hang Katherine on a hook, before leaving. Katherine tries to escape when Dwight helps her down and takes her away to hide. They head down into a basement where they find a man called Bastion, hiding in a locker, Bastion explains that he hid in the locker to get away from the Trapper, and there is only one way to escape. There is a generator somewhere within the estate, using it will return power to the area and will allow someone to lock the gate and keep the Trapper locked away.

Rodney and Sophia keep searching for Dwight when they run into Josephine and Sadie who say there's a maniac in the woods. Meanwhile, Dwight, Bastion and Katherine search for the generator, when they find it, they try to fix it when they hear footsteps and try to escape. Dwight drops a pallet to block the man's path and he and Katherine hide in lockers when Bastion steps in a bear trap, and the Trapper hangs him on another hook, causing black tendrils to surround the hook and impale Bastion, killing him, before the Trapper leaves.

Rudolph and Gerry return to the cabin when the others arrive and reveal Gerry was telling the truth about the Trapper. The lights in the cabin go out. Rudolph and Gerry head out to find the circuit box, when Gerry is attacked by the Trapper. Rudolph runs back inside before the Trapper decapitates Gerry. Rudolph tells everyone to run to the bus, where they can get out, when the Trapper bursts climbs in through the window.

Sophia tries to run and hide, when she trips and her face lands in one of Trappers Bear Traps. The Trapper drags her back to the MacMillan Estate where he hangs her on a hook. Dwight and Katherine try to save Sophia, but just before they reach her, the black tendrils impale her to kill her. The Trapper catches Tyler and tries to carry him back to the Estate to sacrifice him on a hook, when Rodney shines a flashlight in his face to blind him, allowing Tyler to escape, but when Trapper is able to see again, Rodney tries to blind him with the flashlight again, when the batteries die.
