SYNOPSIS: USA, Michigan. Three longtime friends—Ken, Greg, and Art—Vietnam veterans deeply scarred by the war, head out to the countryside for a hunting trip. Crude and racist, they are also—despite being married—inveterate womanizers. During a stop at a gas station, they spot Nancy and her lover, Martin. When the couple gets back on the road, the trio decides to follow them, eventually overpowering them and taking them back to their hideout: an isolated cabin deep in the woods. Thus begins a living nightmare for Nancy and Martin.
