American backpacker friends Gina, John, Stacey, Geraldine, and Phil hike in the woods with their guide Brian in India. When a venomous spider bites Geraldine, the group decides to seek an American doctor, Dr. Lecorpus, who lives with a tribe in the jungle. Dr. Lecorpus treats Geraldine with the help of his brother, who wears a cloth over his disfigured face. While Gina, John, and Phil return to the village in the civilization, Brian and Stacey stay with the natives. They decide to visit a temple in the forest while waiting for Geraldine to recover. However, the two get split up, and Stacey is attacked by a mass of spiders, swarming and covering her in spider webs.
Gina, John, and Phil arrive back at the village and head to the local police station. They meet Sgt. Chadhri, who agrees to investigate the village. Chadhri enters the woods and sees Lecorpus and several of the natives standing near a helicopter. However, Lecorpus’ brother catches Chadhri; they take his gun and force him to walk to the village. Chadhri decides to investigate the temple and is attacked by Lecorpus’ brother, who chases him deep into the temple.
The other three become worried after Chadhri does not return, and Phil walks to a bigger village while Gina and John return to the woods. They arrive back at the village and witness a strange ceremony. They see Stacey, still wrapped in spider webs, injected with venom and carried off into the temple by Lecorpus’ brother. Natives rush and attack Gina and John to save Stacey. Gina finds Stacey, and Lecorpus then appears and tells Gina that Stacey is just paralyzed and not dead. John and Gina run into the temple and get split up.
Meanwhile, Phil discovers a newspaper suggesting Lecorpus illegally harvested organs. Gina and John find Stacey’s camcorder and an alive Brian, but he dies shortly after. Gina and John meet up with Chadhri and try to find their way out of the caves. They come across an operation room and discover that Lecorpus, his brother, and the natives are all in on a scheme to harvest travelers’ organs. They inject their victim with the venom to prevent the organs from spoiling while being transported. Gina, John, and Chadhri manage to free Stacey and escape the operating room.
