Vanessa must outwit her predatory stepfather and scheming mother to survive.
Eighteen-year-old Vanessa expects a routine wilderness weekend with her mother and stepfather, but the isolated campsite strips away every illusion of safety. Her stepfather sheds all pretense, stalking her with brazen sexual hunger, while her mother calmly advances an insurance fraud that only pays if Vanessa dies. With zero cell service and miles of forest blocking any exit, the teenager realizes the two people legally bound to protect her have become coordinated hunters. Every rustle in the brush and whispered conversation behind the tent flap confirms she is the prey in a lethal family conspiracy.
