SLIGHTLY tipsy after too much booze at a fashion industry event, ambitious model agency booker Kate (Franka Potente) staggers home at midnight, electing to take the underground. Drifting off to sleep as she waits for the last train, she wakes to find the station deserted. A train pulls into the platform and Kate boards, slightly unnerved to be the only passenger. Halfway through a tunnel, the train jerks to a halt and the carriage is plunged into darkness.

Lecherous male model Guy (Jeremy Sheffield), who has been making unwelcome advances all night, lurches out of the blackness and attacks Kate. She tries to fend him off but he is too strong... until someone, or something, drags him out of the door and under the train. Running for help at the nearest station, Kate finds herself in a nightmarish fight for survival against the terrifying, insatiable Creep.
