Plot
Four college students—Stacey, Melody, Brian, and Sanjay—travel through the Ozark Mountains to study rural legends. They meet odd locals and hear about the Albino Farm. After agreeing to pay for a ride to the farm, they encounter trouble at the gates. Brian betrays a local guide, and the group becomes separated. Brian is killed after being chased by deformed inhabitants; Melody also dies. Sanjay and Stacey are captured and taken to an underground area, where they fight to escape. Sanjay sacrifices himself to blow up part of the farm, while Stacey escapes to seek help and discovers a revival meeting where the preacher and many followers have albinism.

Inspiration
The film draws on Missouri urban legends about Springlawn Farm and similar Midwestern stories of albino farms.
