En el pequeño pueblo de Misty Pines, un asesino apodado "El Carroñero" desata una ola de terror, cazando adolescentes y utilizando sus cráneos para crear una grotesca máscara de huesos humanos. Mientras el pánico crece, dos detectives con enfoques opuestos son asignados al caso: David Hayes, un veterano cínico, y Max Warren, un novato decidido a probarse. Junto a ellos, Riley Jensen, una periodista local, busca descubrir la verdad tras los brutales crímenes. Mientras los detectives siguen las pistas, un grupo de adolescentes se prepara para un fin de semana en el bosque, sin saber que están en el punto de mira del asesino. Uno a uno, son cazados en un sangriento juego del que parece imposible escapar. Entre ellos, Emma, una joven inteligente y fuerte, se convierte en la única sobreviviente. En un enfrentamiento final con El Carroñero, deberá usar su ingenio para escapar. "El Carroñero" mezcla el horror visceral del slasher clásico con la intriga de los thrillers detectivescos, en una historia donde el miedo y la brutalidad se entrelazan, creando una pesadilla imposible de olvidar.
