A darkly comedic slasher-mystery that blends summer camp nostalgia with serial killer dread and whodunit intrigue.

When 24-year-old Jason Hochberg arrives for counsellor weekend at his beloved Camp Pineway, his biggest problem is feeling out of touch with his teenage co-workers. Little does he know; a masked killer has murdered camp owners John and Kathy and is preparing to strike again.
