Neurotic scaredy-cat Victoria is invited to Paris by her fearless, free-spirit sister Carolyn (P!nk) to blow off some steam. She arrives exhausted and overwhelmed by the city but Carolyn wants to take her to an underground (literally) party straight away. The party is being held in the (in)famous underground ossuary beneath Paris that houses approximately 7 million dead bodies called, well, the Catacombs.

When they arrive tentative Victoria hates it right away. The mass of people, the oppressive heat and the claustrophobic surroundings are too much for her. She meets Jean Michele, the party coordinator and he talks her into going swimming in the caverns with a small groups of friends that includes her sister. Before the swim, Jean Michele tells a story of a mutated freak raised by a cult that lives in the Catacombs. This is unsettling news to Victoria, everyone in the group jumps in and has some fun skinny dipping, but stick-in-the-mud Vicky just wants to return to the party. When no one wants to walk her back, she decides to find it herself.
