The documentary crew Tom is a part of is currently on a shoot in Africa—a shoot on which they have fallen behind schedule. As the sun rises, he thinks of all the things he has seen, the beautiful and the brutal, many of which few others have seen. He also settles his gaze on the crew’s new recruit, Jenny. Tom, Eddie, and Tony hired her for her celebrity status from her time spent on Big Brother, hoping her attractive appearance and fame would earn their documentaries more viewers. Despite this, Eddie and Tony don’t like Jenny and just want her to read the script and look pretty on camera, leaving her out of their camaraderie. Jenny distinctly understands that her purpose on the crew is meant to entice an audience into watching, despising the patronizing nature of it but begrudgingly recognizing it means she will have more work. She occasionally tries to pitch in with their crude humor, but Eddie and Tony mostly ignore it or use it to sexualize her further. Since Tom treats her with relatively more sympathy and friendliness, she has a more caring relationship with him, frequently asking if he is alright during the shoot.

While filming a herd of zebras, the crew notices a pack of African wild dogs on a hunt. They chase after the pack, elated to capture such an elusive predator. Jenny frantically improvises narration for the camera, and the rest of the crew films the dogs tearing apart a young female zebra. Afterwards, they celebrate and head for their next shooting location, the Echo Caves. Unfortunately, the sky is growing dark, and the crew isn’t willing to risk popping their last, severely patched spare tire on the sharp rocks. Tom also begins suspecting the dogs are stalking them, but no one else seems to notice them. Eddie jabs at him, saying he’s only still shaken by the hunt. As the crew is getting ready for bed, an argument breaks out between Jenny and Eddie as she is trying to fit in with the group. Tom tries to defuse the situation, and Eddie relents, jokingly asking for a beer. Hoping to redirect the conversation away from the bottle of brandy he was keeping to celebrate the end of the shoot, Tom plays with the infrared gear they will use to film the darkness of the cave. At Eddie’s insistence, he gives him the brandy anyway.

Later that night, Tom is still working with the infrared camera on the truck, watching the green and black shapes move across his vision. He notices the Eddie and Tony’s eyes have turned a shark-like black. Jenny plays along with Tom, posing for the camera and provoking approving—belied with malicious intent—reactions from Eddie and Tony. Tom startles, though, noticing the wild dogs moving towards them. Eddie, Tony, and Jenny still don’t see anything and attempt to ease Tom, saying he’s just shaken. He can barely hear them, instead remembering all the gruesome scenes of nature he has seen. As the drinking continues, Eddie and Tony initiate a game of “spin the bottle”, but Jenny refuses to play. Tom sees the wild dogs on the infrared monitor, watching them pace around and bark. Eddie pulls Jenny down as she is trying to go back to the truck. He and Tony begin raping her. Remaining in the truck, Tom anxiously imagines Jenny leading all the animals he has seen torn apart and killed to destroy him. He hears Jenny crying out for Eddie and Tony to stop, but does not help her. The two men ask him if he filmed it on the infrared monitor, then urge him to join in. Tom realizes that even for all his “admiration” of Jenny, he was objectifying her and he is the same as Eddie and Tony. He agrees to join them.
