Storyline
A man with an unknown disease travels to an island with his girlfriend, where his relatives once lived, hoping to find a cure to his illness. While it was thought that his relatives were all dead, he actually finds them living underground. However, because they have been inbreeding for all of these years they don't look right, plus they have developed a pretty bad eating habit. Will he chose his girlfriend or his people?
