Synopsis

When all contact with a military base high in the desolate wastelands of Colombia ceases, the authorities - believing the base to have fallen to a terrorist attack - send a nine-man squad to investigate. When the men arrives, they discover a shocking scene of carnage, and only one survivor - a mute woman in chains.
Gradually the isolation, the inability to communicate with the outside world and the impossibility of escape begin to undermine the sanity of the soldiers.
They start to question the identity of their enemy, and the true nature of the strange, silent woman. Is she a terrorist? A victim? Or something more sinister? Something supernatural... Paranoia takes root. Prisoners of fear and the terrible secret they share, their humanity abandoned, the men turn savagely on each other.
