The lucky ones die first.

A bleak slasher thriller that traps morally compromised strangers in a mountain town with a masked killer, prioritizing visceral dread and body-count tension over character development.
Five strangers - newlywed serial killers, a suicidal, depressed policeman, and two young runaways with a secret - become suspects and potential victims when a masked murderer makes its presence known in an isolated mountain town.
