Content note: strong violence, drug or alcohol misuse
Three best friends venture to a remote cabin in the woods for a weekend of bonding, laughter, and experimentation with psychedelics before life pulls them in separate directions. But as the line between reality and hallucination begins to blur, they find themselves stalked by eerie, non-human creatures that dwell in the forest. As paranoia sets in, the friends’ deepest fears and insecurities come to light, threatening their bond. The forest becomes a labyrinth of terror, where every shadow hides danger and every sound feels like a predator closing in. Trust fractures as the creatures, and the friends themselves, turn into threats.
