Spoilers ahead
Julie Evans, Chelsea Vincent leads a joint patrol of soldiers and a journalist team into the Belizean jungle, a mission framed as plant surveillance on a sensitive border but carrying the risk of something far more ominous. Alongside her are a cluster of soldiers and specialists, including Peter Santos, Peter Pedrero, as well as Lt. Chris Thompson, Trey McCurley. The group soon uncovers an abandoned boat stranded in a wide field, and from it they recover a camera with an intact SD card. The footage inside shows underwater scenes and culminates with a gut-wrenching scream as the screen fades to black, hinting at dangers that extend beyond ordinary terrain.
