An office team go on a team-building seminar in the wilderness. The group includes Chris, a meek office worker; Phil, a bully who steals his ideas; Lisa, an HR manager and Chris' love interest; and Jared, a sarcastic slacker. However, when their ex-marine guide is mauled by a tiger, the office workers must fend for themselves.
Shooting took place in Puerto Rico in early 2012.
