A group of teenagers vacationing in the tropics takes a boat out to a seemingly deserted island. They soon find, however, that the island is inhabited by a wealthy recluse (Graff) and his staff. While their host is initially hospitable, he quickly reveals his true purpose: to [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game|hunt down and kill each of his visitors]], as he has done with everyone unlucky enough to set foot on his island. |
