Synopsis

In this psychological thriller, six 14 year-old teens are all bunking off school and playing truant in the woods. Increasingly intense and focused on their game, a power struggle emerges. However the arrival of a drifter makes an impact with the boys when he shows them a new, military-style game.

The games suddenly begin to become darker and frighteningly real as they fall under the influence of this mysterious loner. Unsettled and fearing for their lives, the boys realize they have to unite and fight back to usurp the drifter's control over them.
