Join a group of young explorers as they embark on a seemingly idyllic expedition to a remote region of Mexico. Their mission is to uncover the secrets of a long-lost Mayan civilization, hidden deep within the rainforest. But beneath the lush canopy and shimmering waterfalls, a sinister force awaits them.

Gradually, their sense of safety crumbles, and the idyllic expedition transforms into a nightmare.
Their discoveries grow increasingly horrifying as they stumble upon ancient ruins covered in disturbing carvings. The echoes of a lost civilization haunt their steps, painting a grim picture of a society consumed by violence and ritual sacrifice.
