Synopsis

Mike, a young American traveller in his early twenties arrives at an airport in Spain, to meet his best friend Casey, who traveled ahead. After travelling over dusty terrain to a bar in a sweltering, isolated village, Mike meets a mysterious, beautiful Spanish woman, Lucia. With no sign of Casey, Mike goes back to Lucia's house sitting on the edge of the town, where he starts showing the effects of mild sunstroke.
However, the next day, with no word from Casey, Mike tries to leave, but Lucia is resistant and convinces him to stay a little longer. The next morning, a disturbed Mike slips out of bed quietly, leaving the house just before dawn. Taking a wrong turn Mike gets lost and realises he is being followed. In blind panic, he runs, but this ultimately leaves him needing Lucia's help once more.
Eventually, he discovers what has happened to his friend Casey. The full horror proves to be more disturbing than anyone could have ever imagined.
