An idyllic trip into bear country turns into a nightmare when the mini-van carrying two brothers and their partners suddenly blows a tire on a mountain road and rouses the attentions of one of the inhabiting Grizzly population. Defiantly, one of the brothers, Wall Street hot-shot Sam, pulls out a gun and kills the curious creature. Big mistake! As the group head on into the woods, the bear’s mate, a ferocious eight-foot-tall Grizzly, arrives on the scene and attacks. Trapped inside their van, fighting for their lives, the group must use their wits and every last drop of survival instinct they have to escape a fierce showdown with the claws of death!
