Teenager Marie Marcette knows she's in for the sweltering combination of heat and humidity of the local climate when her older brother wins tickets to a resort in the Philippines.

Beyond the normal hunt for goods to sustain themselves, Marie, Julian, and the others must deal with a mysterious forest from which some fail to reemerge. What kind of evil resides there?
