Plot Summary

In this dark comedy, a group of former students who were terrorized by their sadistic teacher, Mr. Korman, at a summer camp 20 years prior, are lured back to the now-abandoned camp. The students, now adults, seek revenge on Korman, only to find that he has become even more twisted and dangerous. Their reunion turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse as they are systematically targeted by their former tormentor.
