Twelve strangers wake up in a clearing. They don’t know where they are, or how they got there. They don't know they’ve been chosen ... for a very specific purpose ... THE HUNT. In this subversive satire, a group of elites gather for the very first time at a remote Manor House to hunt ordinary Americans for sport. But the elites’ master plan is about to be derailed because one of The Hunted, Crystal (Betty Gilpin), knows The Hunters’ game better than they do. She turns the tables on the killers, picking them off one by one as she makes her way toward the mysterious woman (Hilary Swank) at the center of it all.
