Plot
After a group of scientists go missing in Sector 13, just east of where Papa Jupiter's family lived, a group of soldiers and their Seargeant are sent on a search and rescue mission, all the while Papa Hade's clan of cannibals is watching their every move, and planning on devouring the group.

Synopsis
A group of scientists, Christine Walker, John Parks, Jason Chung, and Timothy Waters, are shutting down the abandoned town in Sector 13. Colonel Redding is overseeing this operation. As Jason and Timothy are sent to seal the final buildings, Christine and John tell Redding about how the inhabitants of the town fled because of the bombings. In the houses, Jason and Timothy find a passage underground that leads into the mines. Chameleon, a cannibal that blends into rock because of his skin, grabs Jason and pulls him into the mine. He then breaks Jason's neck, and chops Timothy in half with a machete. Christine, John and Redding are attacked by Stabber, a violent cannibal with an oversized meat cleaver, and John is chopped in half vertically. Christine and Redding flee into the hills, while Redding shoots in Stabber's direction with his pistol. Christine is stabbed in the back with an axe by Letch, a cannibal dressed in military clothing, and pushed off the cliff. Redding is then stabbed in the stomach with the ax, and thrown off also, landing into Stabber's hands. Redding is then taken into the mine.

Arriving, they find the empty camp. Sarge tells them about the town, and he tells them they are going to check it out. He takes Roger, Jenna, Curtis, Steve and Alejandro. He tells Brenda, Alex, Lauren, and Amanda to stay at the camp and look for the scientists. Brenda finds John's body in a tent, and tells the others. They grab their weapons, and leave the camp, after finding the truck on fire.

The other six find the town, and Sarge discovers the remains of the other bodies. Roger and Jenna run ahead, and Roger is grabbed by Letch, who smashes Roger's face into a rock. He then pulls him into a hidden hold which leads to the mines. Jenna runs back to the others. They hide upstairs in one of their houses. Brenda tells Amanda, Alex and Lauren about the cannibals. They find the town, and Sarge and the others try to warn them to hide. The others don't get it, and Lauren in captured by the Chameleon and taken into a cave. Brenda, Amanda and Alex join the others. They decide to hike into the mines. On the way, they find the almost dead Redding. He warns them, but is killed when Stabber emerges and cuts his throat. The others shoot at Stabber, but he escapes.

The other eight find a way into the mines. They are attacked by Digger, a cannibal armed with a shovel. Brenda, Amanda, and Alex fall into the ground, taking them deeper into the mines. Sarge, Curtis, and Alejandro  are together also. Jenna and Steve make it to the surface and use a rope to try and get to the ground. Jenna goes first and makes it to the bottom. Steve stars to climb down but the rope is cut by Letch, and Steve falls to his death. Letch doesn't notice Jenna and leaves.

Sarge, Curtis and Alejandro find the exit to the cave. Sarge is hit over the head by Digger, and killed from his skull being cracked. Curtis and Alejandro shoot Digger to death, however. The two see Jenna still at the bottom, and tell her they'll be down to get her. After they leave, Stabber appears and grabs her, then takes her into the mines where she dies offscreen. Deep in the caves, Lauren is raped by Papa Hades, the leader, who is trying to keep his clan alive by raping captive women. A little later, Blinder, a blind cannibal, stabs Alex in the back with a wood stake. Amanda bashes his head in with a rock, saving Alex.

Curtis and Alejandro make it to the ground, and see a trail of blood from Jenna. Curtis goes in after her, while Alejandro tries to hike back to the camp. Alejandro has his arm chopped off by Letch, and thrown to his death on a cactus. Papa Hades is asleep, and Amanda, Alex, and Brenda free Lauren. Papa Hades wakes up, and uses his pickaxe to kill Lauren by jamming it through her chest. Amanda is seperated from the others, and is found by Stabber. However, Brenda finds them and decapitates Stabber with his cleaver. Curtis is attacked by Letch, but kills him with his own axe by stabbing him in the throat.

Curtis, Amanda, Brenda and Alex fight Papa Hades, but Curtis is stabbed in the throat with a pick axe. Amanda sets Papa Hades on fire, and Alex shoots him three times in the chest.
