Lost deep in the enemy territory of the western front during World War I, allied soldier Private Charles Shakespeare (Jamie Bell) and eight other British soldiers from the Y Company seek refuge in maze of an abadoned German trench.

As the soldiers begin to fall prey to an unseen force, one by one thier numbers dwindle and thier suspicions of one another grow.
