Plot Overview
Following the brutal bullying and suicide of a young inmate at the Moorgate Youth Custody Center, a group of juvenile delinquents is sent to an uninhabited, remote island off the coast of Britain as a mandatory “character-building” survival exercise. Led by their tough prison officer, Jed (Sean Pertwee), the boys are expected to learn teamwork and discipline in the wild.
Shortly after setting up camp, they discover that they are not alone on the island. A group of female young offenders, supervised by officer Louise (Alex Reid), is also stationed nearby.
Tensions between the groups quickly turn to sheer panic when a unseen, ruthless huntsman begins stalking them across the forest terrain. Equipped with crossbows, bear traps, and a pack of vicious attack German Shepherds, the mysterious killer picks off the group one by one in gruesome fashion. To survive, the juvenile offenders must overcome their deep distrust of each other and band together against a predator determined to slaughter them all.
