Corporate Animals

Lucy, the CEO of Incredible Edibles, leads her team on a corporate team-building expedition in New Mexico. Her choice of activity is meant to foster camaraderie among her beleaguered assistants and interns, setting the stage for intense dynamics.

Despite initial plans for an easier hiking path, Lucy opts for a more challenging trek against the advice of their guide, Brandon. This decision introduces tension and anxiety within the group, as they question Lucy's leadership abilities.

As the hike begins, personal struggles come to the forefront, including Aidan's embarrassment from an accident and Suzy's fear preventing her from participating. These conflicts hint at the underlying issues among the team members, which start to surface.

Tragedy strikes when an earthquake traps the group underground, leading to Brandon's death as the only exit collapses. This catastrophic event forces the team into survival mode, intensifying their dire predicament.

With scarce food and water supplies, tensions escalate rapidly among the group. Billy's frustration over the possible mismanagement of resources adds to the growing distrust, as Lucy remains optimistic about imminent rescue.

As days pass, their survival situation becomes more desperate, showcasing Lucy's brutal management style. The group struggles with morale and trust, leading Freddie and Jess to confront Lucy about their dire state and their faith in her leadership.

In a shocking turn, the group considers cannibalizing their deceased guide, Brandon, creating a heated debate. This moral quandary exposes the drastic lengths they must contemplate to survive, further intensifying their conflicts.

As the team wrestles with their grim decision, they discover Lucy has secretly hoarded a part of Brandon for herself. This revelation shatters whatever remaining trust existed, igniting fierce anger and betrayal among the team members.

With their health deteriorating due to harsh conditions, the group faces the reality of their situation. Lucy's unstable behavior compounds their problems, pushing the limits of their patience and resilience.

As Lucy's grip on her sanity loosens, the group finally bands together against her oppressive leadership. In a rallying moment, Jess inspires the others to reclaim their power and confront the truths they’ve held back for too long.

During the critical days 9 and 10, the team’s struggle culminates in a fierce fight for survival. An injury to Lucy further stirs the pot, driving the group to unite against her oppressive rule and fabricate a survival narrative.

In a final act of solidarity, the group crafts a convincing story for the press, claiming that a rock fell on Lucy in her sleep. This decision helps ensure their sordid experiences remain concealed, giving them a sense of reprieve amid chaos.
