In the murky underbelly of Hong Kong's Triad criminal empire, cold-blooded kingpin Chan funnels a vast fortune into Oliver, a faltering film producer teetering on bankruptcy. Oliver embraces the investment as a golden ticket to reclaim his glory, oblivious to Chan's malevolent plot: exploiting the production to rouse primordial horrors from slumber, perilously fusing scripted drama with a nightmarish truth.

​

Oliver gathers a quartet of spirited young documentary filmmakers—the intrepid and inquisitive Molly, the astute and ambitious Derek, the adrenaline-junkie Shane behind the camera, and the grounded, reliable Adam—to document a fabled nocturnal creature rooted in Aboriginal legends. They plunge into Australia's unforgiving outback, bound for the spectral ghost town of Nowhere Else, shortcutting through a blistering red desert that pulses with an eerie, almost sentient vitality.

 

Defying a weathered Aboriginal elder's solemn admonition—"Turn back, lest the land's vengeful spirits deny you the dawn"—they forge ahead, their initial thrill eroding into disquiet as chilling winds carry cryptic murmurs across the dunes. When their vehicle gasps its last, they stumble upon Noah, a battle-worn outback hermit shadowed by grief, who offers shabby shelter but implores: "Lock yourselves in come nightfall—the darkness devours."

​

As unspeakable entities stir in the gloom, alliances fracture and reform in a whirlwind of treachery, retribution, and fragile bonds. Joined by Chan's merciless enforcer Liu, his Triad henchmen, and a remorseful Oliver entangled in the web, the remaining fighters venture into a sprawling underground maze teeming with spectral swarms, deadly snares, and mind-bending deceptions that strain every loyalty.

 

In an electrifying showdown fueled by passion, vendetta, and sheer defiance, the group grapples with grotesque mythical abominations. As the divide between predator and prey vanishes, one burning question echoes: Can they shatter the outback's timeless malediction, or will the insatiable void claim their souls forever?
