As the party, led by George Donner, grapples with their dire circumstances, they struggle to survive not only the blistering heat of the desert but also the biting cold that evokes a chilling sense of dread. Minor disputes escalate into violent confrontations, and the disappearance of children adds to the growing tension. With each passing day, the true horror reveals itself, escalating into a battle against a menacing force that transcends the fury of nature.

After having travelled west for weeks, the party of pioneers comes to a crossroads. It is time for their leader, George Donner, to make a choice. They face two diverging paths which lead to the same destination. One is well-documented - the other untested, but rumoured to be shorter.
Donner's decision will shape the lives of everyone travelling with him. The searing heat of the desert gives way to biting winds and a bitter cold that freezes the cattle where they stand. Driven to the brink of madness, the ill-fated group struggles to survive and minor disagreements turn into violent confrontations. Then the children begin to disappear. As the survivors turn against each other, a few begin to realise that the threat they face reaches beyond the fury of the natural elements, to something more primal and far more deadly.
Based on the true story of The Donner Party, The Hunger is an eerie, shiver-inducing exploration of human nature, pushed to its breaking point.
