The novel follows a group of tourists on vacation in Cancún who decide to visit a set of Mayan ruins. Two United States couples (Jeff and Amy, Eric and Stacy), fresh out of college and enjoying a vacation before getting ready for their professional lives, decide to help a new-found German friend, Mathias, look for his brother, Heinrich, who has supposedly joined an archaeological dig. A Greek they met at the hotel, who they know only as Pablo, follows them. Pablo leaves a copy of Heinrich's map at the front desk for his two friends to follow later. They find their way through the jungle to the ruins of an old mine, a large hill which is covered by vines with red flowers. An elderly local Mayan man tries to get them to leave until Amy steps into the vines, at which point they are forced at gunpoint by a group of Mayan men to continue up the hill. The Mayans surround the ruins and set up camp to prevent them from leaving. The hill is covered with mounds of vines that turn out to be corpses, including Heinrich's. After hearing what they believe to be a cell phone ringing at the bottom of the hill's abandoned mine shaft, Pablo volunteers to go down and find it. The rope breaks, weakened by the vine growing on it, and he falls down the shaft, breaking his back. Eric goes down to help him, but cuts his knee. Amy follows them down, helping to get Pablo out of the shaft but injuring his back further. Pablo is bedridden while the group tries to figure out what to do. At the same time, the group takes turns looking out for Pablo's friends to arrive, so they can warn them and get help. The group learns that the vine can move when Amy vomits and it sends out a tendril to suck it up. They figure out that vine has at least some measure of sentience and left the rope hanging over the shaft as a trap. It also pulls down a sign Jeff erects as a warning to anyone else who comes by. Amy and Jeff go down the shaft to investigate the ringing cell phone, but find that the flowers can mimic sounds and are making the noise. The vines try to pull them down another shaft but they escape. That night, the vine works its way into Eric's cut. Mathias cuts the vine out, but Eric remains convinced that there is still some of the plant inside him. He makes his wound worse, cutting at it with the knife, and even goes so far as to cut open his chest, as he thinks he feels the vine there, too. Also during the first night, the vine eats away the flesh of Pablo's legs. In an attempt to save him, Jeff convinces the others that they need to cut off his legs. Later that day, Eric, Stacy, and Amy get drunk and Pablo's condition worsens. They unleash their past slights and respective inner grudges about each other and all get into a fight when, to their shock, the vine throws their voices back at them, making the situation even more disturbing. Enraged at their drunken behavior, the normally calm Jeff loses his temper, lectures the group, and unleashes a tirade at Amy, prompting her to go off on her own to cry. That night, he sees her vomiting and reaching out for help in the dark, but he ignores her. In the morning, Mathias finds her dead: the vine was choking her as she threw up. The vine works its way back into Eric's cuts in the night and Jeff cuts it out before stitching his wounds shut. It's revealed that the vine can mimic smells as well as sounds and it torments the group with smells of food. The following night, the vine makes sounds of Stacy and Mathias having sex in order to further drive the group apart. Eric begins to throw accusations, as Mathias and Stacy try to convince him otherwise; while they were distracted arguing, the vines smother Pablo to death. Meanwhile, Jeff thinks he can get past the Mayans but they shoot him with arrows during the attempt and he is killed. The next morning, it's revealed that Eric was right and the vine really was still inside him when several growths of it show up under his skin. Mathias cuts them out and the vine tells them of Jeff's death. Stacy and Mathias go to look for Jeff, leaving Eric alone. Eric takes the knife to himself in an effort to remove the vine, but literally peels himself until he's near death. A horrified Stacy and Mathias return and try to take the knife from him. Eric, dazed from blood loss and under extreme stress and pain, forgets he is still holding the knife and stabs Mathias while attempting to fend him off, killing the German. Both Eric and Stacy realize that Eric has no chance of survival, so Eric begs Stacy to kill him, which she reluctantly does. The only one left, Stacy eats the rest of their food, heads down the hill, sits herself at the bottom of the hill, in front of the Mayans, holding on the the chance that Pablo's friends will arrive. She gives up at this prospect, however, and decides to kill herself by slitting both her wrist. Within minutes, the vines drag her away and devour her. Three days later, the other two Greeks finally arrive, with some Brazilian friends. A young Mayan girl tries to stop them from getting near the clearing, but they walk across the clearing and towards the hill, presumably to suffer the same fate as the others did.
