FOUR WOMEN.

Orly, Lenny, Mel and Thea have been best friends since school. But now it is 20 years later and inevitably they have drifted apart.

ONE WEEKEND.

It is Lenny's 40th birthday, plus Orly and Mel need cheering up, so Thea suggests a weekend away at a festival in their hometown. It's a chance for them all to reconnect.

NOT ALL OF THEM WILL SURVIVE.

But their holiday soon takes a sinister turn, and not all of the friends will leave the festival alive...
