Plot

Four college students – Alex, Brent, Sophie and Trey – go into the forests of West Virginia on a rafting trip. As they are camping by the riverside, Three Finger appears and murdered the teens except Alex who had witnessed her friends' deaths.

Two days later, three prison guards; Nate, Walter and Preslow are assigned with undercover U.S. Marshal William "Willy" Juarez who was posing as a prisoner to watch over Carlo Chavez, the leader of a crime organization during his transfer to a distant prison in Hazleton with three other prisoners: Floyd, a neo-Nazi serial killer; Crawford, a car thief; and Brandon, a convicted former U.S. marine. En route, they took the road to the abandoned paper mill through Greenbrier County when their bus is tangled in the tire with barbed wire from Three Finger's truck and crashes into the woods, forcing them to continue on foot as Three Finger attack them from the distance and kills Preslow. Nate and Walter are now held hostage by the prisoners when they found Alex, who was hiding out in the woods from Three Finger and his nephew Three Toes. As they follow her, they find an abandoned armored truck containing bags of money. Nate finds a gun in the truck and gave it to Walter who uses it to shoot Chavez but when the weapon is not loaded, the latter kills Walter in retaliation before forcing those left alive to carry the money and walk to the campsite for the criminals to use the rafts for their escape with the loot. Along the trail, they stumble upon a trap set by Three Toes that they are able to evade as Chavez and Floyd subdue the young cannibal and behead him, leaving a trophy on the spent booby trap for Three Finger to find as a deterrent. After Nate disrupts the prisoners' escape to the river, Chavez unwittingly releases a trap set by Three Finger that kills Willy. The prisoners found Three Finger's truck but when they forced Crawford to hijack the vehicile, he is lured into another trap by Three Finger who ensnares him with a netting of razor wire and drives off, dragging him down the road.

Local town sheriff Calvin Carver, who found the crashed prison bus, contacts the U.S. Marshal team and look for Nate's group while his deputy Ally Lane sets out to look for the missing teens. Nate and Alex, with Brandon's help by distracting Floyd to attack Chavez, attempts to escape but the latter recaptures the two after beating down Floyd and leave him behind. After they find the location where the watch tower once stood that was burned down years ago, Carver finds the group but is killed by Three Finger. When Chavez attempts to reclaim the money, Floyd took the bags as Chavez chases after him only to see Three Finger lobbing a molotov cocktail at Floyd, killing him and burning all the money. Now enraged at the mutant cannibal, Chavez tosses Alex to Three Finger who captures her to improve his chances of survival. Infuriating the others by his actions, Chavez is knocked unconscious by Brandon allowing Nate to go back and rescue Alex. Chavez is then killed by Three Finger after the mutant overpowers him during their fight.

Alex awakens in Three Finger's cabin and sees Deputy Lane dying from a razor wire net. Nate finds the cabin and frees Alex, but they are attacked by Three Finger as they escape. Three Finger chases after them who drove away in his tow truck, causing them to crash into a tree. As the truck is about to explode, Brandon appears and pulls Alex out. While Brandon helps Nate, Three Finger attacks them but Nate manage to kill him by stabbing him in the head with his meathook. After Nate releases Brandon in return for his help, the Marshal team arrives the next morning to rescue Nate and Alex.

Sometime later, Nate returns to the forest to take the remaining money from the armored truck but Brandon appears and kills him. As he takes the money, an unknown cannibal appears and kills Brandon.
