From Little Stack

There’s heat. And then there’s the oppressive weight of a hot, humid jungle. That’s where a group of friends finds themselves trapped. It was supposed to be a lazy couple’s vacation at a Mexican resort. Sun-drenched days. Liquor-fueled nights. But when one of them disappears, the group decides to venture into the jungle to find him. What starts as a fun day adventure into the unknown spirals into a horrific nightmare when they stumble on ancient ruins. There’s an entity that lurks there. And it doesn’t want to let them go.

Publisher Description

Trapped in the Mexican jungle, a group of friends stumble upon a creeping horror unlike anything they could ever imagine. Two young couples are on a lazy Mexican vacation—sun-drenched days, drunken nights, making friends with fellow tourists. When the brother of one of those friends disappears, they decide to venture into the jungle to look for him.

What started out as a fun day-trip slowly spirals into a nightmare when they find an ancient ruins site ... and the terrifying presence that lurks there.
