Five old university pals, now nudging 40, gather for a weekend to scatter the ashes of their friend, Jonesy, who drowned himself in the lake three years earlier. They settle in for a fun evening, entertaining each other with stories of murders, ghosts, zombies and possessions, but as day turns to night, the gang become aware of another horror story unfolding around them - And this one is real.
Six friends on a weekend getaway in a remote cabin find themselves in a desperate fight for survival when they become the unwilling participants in a deadly game orchestrated by a mysterious entity.
