A darkly comedic horror-thriller that balances gore and undead mayhem with sibling bonding and coming-of-age humor in a cabin-in-the-woods setting.

On a weekend getaway at a rundown cabin in the woods, Jason, a cautious teen, his crude best friend Colin and his fearless older sister Summer are forced to work together, grow up and save their hard-partying parents from their predatory neighbor intent on feeding them all to her undead family.
