Plot
Lucy (Demi Moore) is the egotistical CEO of Incredible Edibles, America's premiere provider of edible cutlery. In her infinite wisdom, Lucy leads her staff including her long-suffering assistants, Freddie (Karan Soni) and Jess (Jessica Williams), on a corporate team-building caving weekend to New Mexico. When disaster strikes, not even their useless guide Brandon (Ed Helms) can save them. Trapped underground by a cave-in, the mismatched and disgruntled group must pull together in order to survive amidst sexual tension, startling business revelations, and casual cannibalism.
