The film’s premise is a modern riff on Richard Connell’s classic story The Most Dangerous Game . Twelve strangers wake up gagged in a remote clearing, known as "The Manor," only to realize they are being hunted for sport by a group of wealthy, "liberal elite" hunters.

The hunted, whom the hunters mockingly refer to as "deplorables," are chosen based on their perceived conservative views and online activities. However, the tables turn when one of the prey, a resourceful veteran named Crystal (played by Betty Gilpin), proves to be more dangerous than her pursuers ever anticipated.
