A group of seven war veterans arrive in the arctic for a special military mission commanded by a woman named Adams. They exchange war stories, and realize that they all have experienced horrific events. Adams comes in and offers to tell a story. She tells the group that when she was stationed in Kandahar, a soldier sold her a map that he claimed would lead them to Bin Laden. They followed the map to a cave. Near the cave, the signals on their devices cut off and their compasses spun. Adams was the only one of ten people who made it out of the cave. Adams produces a vial of honey, which she says is from the cave. She shows a video of a rat eating the honey and then chewing off its own leg. Essentially, the honey can allow people to go days without feeling pain or resting, so the military wants more of it. Adams explains that the cave is now in the ice. The team sets out, and Adams gives them all a small amount of the honey so that they will survive. One of the veterans hears a lullaby after they consume the honey, and sees an ancient girl standing under a tree. That night, one of the men purposefully puts his hand in an old animal trap, which removes half of his arm. That morning, the man is gone, and only his footprints in the snow remain, getting farther and farther apart and impossibly long. The veteran who had the vision recalls how at some point during the night, Adams took them to the caves and made them dig for the honey, while all the while the song echoed in their ears. The next morning, one of the women purposefully burns herself alive. A helicopter comes to rescue them, and the veteran is screaming and has to be restrained. A year passes, and the veteran has had horrific nightmares and PTSD. They get an email that one of the men from the mission has died and his funeral is on Saturday. At the funeral, the veteran sees two of the other people from the mission. They vividly see how the man shot himself. The three of them decide to go find Adams, and they track her down to the Yukon and fly there. Adams has changed, and her eyes are now the color of honey. She reveals to the veteran that she never intended on giving the honey to the military, and instead got it for the ancient beings. Adam cuts her arm open, and her blood is now honey. Her back has welts on it which make out a map to the caves, and she reveals that the map is not an instruction of where to go, but a history of where the beings have been. The veteran drinks the honey from her arm and goes to find the others, hearing the beings singing to them.
