The film opens with Simon and Emma, who are previously successful London-based chefs, moving to the countryside to open a restaurant. They hope to create a gourmet establishment and cater to the needs of the local villagers who are looking for quality food. However, they soon discover that the villagers are not very receptive towards their upscale restaurant and prefer their traditional foods.

As they struggle to establish their business and adapt to their new surroundings, strange events begin to occur in their restaurant. The power keeps going out, they hear strange noises coming from their kitchen, and their food ingredients start to disappear. They initially assume that it is just some petty thefts but it soon becomes clear that something more sinister is afoot.

One of their kitchen helpers, a young girl named Lena, begins to act in a strange manner, and soon, Simon and Emma find out that the villagers are part of a cult that involves cannibalism. Lena turns out to be the leader of the cult and she seeks to lure the couple into the cult and extract their gourmet cooking skills for their restaurant.

The cinematography is excellent, capturing the haunting and near-abandoned quality of the remote Welsh village.
