Un día, en la pequeña y pacífica localidad de Sameri, que se jacta de no tener causas penales desde hace 10 años, sucede un terrible accidente. Los ecologistas que estudian animales salvajes en una montaña cercana descubren una colección de partes desmembradas de cuerpos. La víctima resulta ser la nieta de Chun, un legendario cazador. Chun está convencido que no fue un humano quien asesino a su nieta, sino un jabalí come-hombres llamado Chaw. Aterrorizada, la gente del pueblo invita a uno de los más famosos cazadores al pueblo para capturarlo. Así se formará un pequeño grupo con el cazador, Chun, un policía y un par de ecologistas que darán caza al monstruo.
