The story follows Paul Venters, a self-absorbed plastic surgeon on the verge of marriage, as he attempts to repair his fractured relationship with his fiancée's troubled brother, Marty. What begins as a misguided olive branch quickly escalates into a deadly game of cat and mouse, exposing the fragility of trust and the lengths one will go to protect their secrets.

The wilderness serves as both a serene escape and a claustrophobic prison, amplifying the characters' flaws and choices. As lies unravel and alliances shift, the film asks whether morality can survive in the face of self-preservation—or if the weight of a single mistake will ultimately consume everyone involved.
