The story

Sarah is picked up by her husband Paul and daughter Jessica after a whitewater rafting trip with her thrill-seeking friends Juno and Beth.

Making their way through the caves, Sarah becomes stuck in a narrow tunnel, but manages to escape before it collapses, blocking the way back.

Later, they come across a den of animal bones and are suddenly attacked by a creature they call a "Crawler", which kills Holly.
