Here is a rephrased version of the movie overview: A group of anthropology students, led by their professor Nash, embark on a field trip to an old ranch to learn about an ancient Chumash ritual, the rites of passage ceremony. Unbeknownst to them, the ranch is now home to two troubled individuals: Benny, a lonely and delusional man addicted to a hallucination drug, and Delgado, a crazed drug dealer seeking revenge against Dani, a traumatized half-Chumash student who had a tragic past. As tensions rise, the group faces a series of terrifying events, including kidnappings, murders, and hallucinations. Benny becomes obsessed with Dani and sees her as his bride, while Delgado seeks revenge against her for her past mistakes. In the end, Nathan, the main protagonist, must confront his own fears and emotions to save Dani and stop the chaos.
