Bývalá filmová hvězda zve každý rok blízké přátele na svůj soukromý řecký ostrov, aby unikli ponurému anglickému počasí. Když je však na místě uvězní větrná bouře, klaustrofobie odlehlého ostrova zpřetrhá i poslední přátelské vazby. Nadcházející noc probudí veškerou zuřivost a potlačované násilí, které pohání touha po pomstě. Dřív, než se smršť přežene, dají se do pohybu smrtelně nebezpečné události.
