      I Virals, quattro amici che hanno sensi amplificati dopo aver contratto un virus di un lupo, si ritrovano coinvolti in una strana caccia al tesoro. Tutto ha inizio come un innocuo passatempo intrapreso per il puro gusto della sfida: i ragazzi devono localizzare con un GPS alcuni oggetti nascosti da un Game master. Ma la caccia prende una svolta oscura quando trovano una scatoletta decorata che nasconde un messaggio cifrato. Uno di loro, Shelton, decodifica il messaggio e all'improvviso quello che sembrava un gioco si trasforma in una realtà molto pericolosa. I Virals sono caduti nella tela di uno squilibrato che li conosce molto bene e sa come ricattarli per ottenere ciò che vuole...
