Three backpackers traveling through Europe are lured to a Slovakian hostel by promises of hedonistic parties and beautiful women. They soon discover the establishment is a front for a brutal organization that allows wealthy clients to torture and murder victims for a price. They must find a way to escape the nightmare before they become the next targets.
