This confrontational coming-of-age thriller is a haunting look into the destruction of innocence and the depths of fear. When a gang of raucous teens play hooky in the woods, they cross paths with a mysterious drifter. Preying on their adolescent curiosity and naiveté, the sadistic vagabond easily wins them over only to inflict humiliating and torturous mind games with a rusty switchblade and a gun. Trembling and desperate these kids realize that their only chance at survival is to embrace the darkness within and fight back with some wicked games of their own.
