In a pub, five friends—Phil, Dom, Hutch, Luke, and Rob—discuss plans for a holiday. Rob suggests hiking in Sweden but gets rebuffed. Afterward, Luke and Rob leave to purchase alcohol but get involved in a robbery which soon turns violent. While Luke hides, the robbers harass and eventually kill Rob.
Six months later, the remaining four start a hiking trip along the Kungsleden in northern Sweden in memory of Rob. After Dom injures his knee, Hutch suggests cutting through the forest rather than following the marked trail. Luke opposes it, but Dom insists that they should take a shortcut if there is one. The group discovers eerie symbols carved into the trees and a gutted and hanged elk as they enter the forest. They are forced to seek refuge in an abandoned cabin at night due to a torrential downpour. They find necklaces bearing similar symbols and an effigy of a decapitated human torso made of twigs, with antlers for hands. During the night, Luke has a nightmare about the robbery. They awoke the following morning to find Luke's puncture wounds bleeding from his chest, Hutch screaming in fear and having drenched himself, Dom in a coma yelling for his wife Gayle, and Phil praying to the effigy naked. Disturbed, the group tries to leave the woods through a side trail not shown on the map, despite Luke's protests. Luke spots a large figure among the trees while determining their location, but Dom doubts him. In their ensuing argument, Luke claims they wouldn't be in the forest if it weren't for Dom and Dom calls Luke a coward for letting Rob die.
As they continue hiking, they find an abandoned tent overgrown in foliage, with a backpack and wallet that has a credit card that expired in 1984. They must be close to the lodge and on a path that other people use, according to Hutch, but everyone else sees it as a negative sign. Phil's screams wake the group up later that night. Hutch is missing and his tent has partially collapsed. The remaining three search for him, but by dawn, they realize they are lost. Eventually, they find a gutted Hutch impaled on tree branches and give him an impromptu burial. Around sunset, Phil is attacked and dragged away by an unseen creature. Luke and Dom run away. They find a torch-lined path leading to a small settlement. Upon rushing into a cottage, they are knocked unconscious.
Luke and Dom awake to find themselves restrained in a basement. An elderly woman inspects Luke's chest wounds, revealing she bears a similar marking. Dom is taken upstairs by two men, who later return him to the basement, battered and bleeding. Dom says he will be sacrificed to the creature and urges Luke to flee. Later, while Dom is tied up outside by the townsfolk, Luke begins freeing himself from the restraints. Amidst the ritual, Dom hallucinates his wife emerging from the forest, only to realize it is the creature as it picks him up and impales him on a nearby tree.
A young woman explains to Luke that the creature is the giant deer-like jΓΆtunn "Moder", an ancient god-like entity and offspring of Loki that grants the cult immortality in exchange for sacrifices. Luke is to either worship Moder or be sacrificed. After she leaves, Luke frees himself and ventures upstairs. Luke sets a group of mummified worshippers on fire with a torch when he sees them beginning to move, burning the cabin and attracting Moder. Luke finds a hunting rifle and heads downstairs, killing a cult member and taking an axe. The enraged jΓΆtunn kills the young woman while Luke shoots at it and escapes.
Moder pursues Luke, crippling his mind with hallucinations of Rob's death before catching and forcing him to his knees. Luke refuses to submit, strikes it with the axe, then flees. He runs towards the hill, seeing rays of sunlight, and emerges in an open field. Unable to leave the forest, the Moder angrily roars. Luke shouts back in triumph and heads towards a paved road.
