PlotThree childhood friends, Abby, Jackie, and Trina, decide to reunite for a weekend camping trip in the woods to reconnect and relive their carefree days. Looking forward to a peaceful getaway, they choose a remote forest that seems perfect for relaxation and reminiscing about old times. However, their hopes for a tranquil retreat quickly turn bleak as they find themselves in a scenario far from the peaceful escape they had imagined. The tranquility of nature is shattered by an unexpected and horrifying encounter that will test their friendship and survival skills.
The setting quickly turns sinister when the trio stumbles upon a backwoods home, inhabited by a deranged mother and her two degenerate sons. Their nightmare begins as they are subjected to a brutal and sadistic game. The friends must draw upon their deepest reserves of strength, courage, and ingenuity in a desperate fight for their lives. Caught in a terrifying struggle against their captors' twisted sense of entertainment, the bonds of their friendship and their will to survive are pushed to the limit. The peaceful weekend they had planned is transformed into a horrific ordeal, as they realize that the only way to escape the nightmare is to outsmart their captors, turning the tables in a chilling confrontation.
