Plot Synopsis:

The story of three young teenagers named Mark (Gregory), James (Payne) and Chasely (Lawrence) who stumble upon a serial killer’s hunting ground. Instead of going straight to the police with the evidence they’ve uncovered, Mark and James decide to blackmail the serial killer into killing the man (Dorman) who committed a horrible crime against the two boys years ago. Needless to say, all does not go as planned.
