Three people arrive on a private island for a horror writer's retreat where they are each hell-bent on winning a life-changing competition. That is until they tap into their inner demons which causes everything to spiral down on them.

On the night that a couple hosts a dinner for friends, bloodcurdling cries from the upstairs nursery set off an evening of horrific decisions and a fate so unbearable that a descent into total darkness seems to be the only escape.

V has turned into everything that women hate, but still has no trouble finding a number of them to sleep with...and then not call. When he realizes that his womanizing ways can't erase what's been plaguing him, he turns to his friends Nick, Scott (also known as "Squatty" for his urination techniques), and Desmond, whose lives aren't as cozy as they seem either, and they head upstate for a month-long bonding adventure. In the woods of their childhood summer stomping grounds, they are met with freedom, temptation, euphoric outlets, and a powerful dose of reality. It is here that they are visited by a free-spirited local and her bag of goodies who provides them with unconventional wisdom, but it's up to them to know what to do with it. As the summer nears its end, their friendship is inevitably tested as each must confront his own inner demons before they all head back home to straighten out their lives. The film takes a look at issues that people face as they head into their 30s and more specifically touches on broken and failing relationships while examining how vulnerable lifelong friendships truly are. We never realize how fragile our connections with people really are. This film plays with the strings that bind friends and family, and it sometimes pulls too hard.
