A straightforward 1980s slasher that uses a summer camp setting and a past tragedy to generate suspense and body-count horror.

A group of teenagers win a trip to a summer camp they had attended as children. However, soon after they get there they begin to disappear one by one. The survivors suspect that the disappearances may be connected to the death of a handicapped child at the camp years before.
