A group of students and naturalists journey into the dense Thai jungle in an attempt to locate a mythical new species of elephant. But things begin to go badly when they discover that everything in the jungle seems to want them dead in the most painful ways possible. 
The Trek has a relatively strait forward pattern of seek and destroy, the students seek and everything else destroys. But it in the spectacle of the attacks ranging from insects, spiders, giant snakes and gunmen. The counterpoint to this is the subplots involving the students and their personal relationships including several westerners that have become mixed up in the expatiation leading to predictably absurd results.
