Stressed from schoolwork, a group of college kids want to let off some steam, so they decide to go on a little trip. There is Ralph, the good looking alpha male, his girlfriend, the smoking hot and very wealthy (her father basically owns every industrial plant in the area) Ilona, Cici, their free-spirited and promiscuous friend, Irwin, the aspiring filmmaker stoner (who is documenting everything on his camcorder), and Meredith, a quiet and somewhat mysterious girl. They elect to drive deep into the woods and crash at an old farm house that Meredith is familiar with. Once they get there, they realize that Irwin forgot to pack the water that will sustain them through the weekend (even though he swears that he did). Meredith points out that there is what seems to be fresh water stream out back. Intensely thirsty from the early summer heat, they imbibe the cold and delicious spring water - As the night descends, the group begins acting somewhat strange. Ilona is hearing odd noises. Cici's skin is itching. Ralph can't stop gnashing his teeth. Meredith writhes around. The only one acting normal is Irwin: he didn't drink the water. They come to the realization that they are now infected with something, and need to get help...however this is easier said than done; they are in a cellular "dead zone" and their car's engine has been tampered with. Now that it is fully dark, they are all out of control; the poisoned water has injected them with extreme paranoia and a murderous rage. Irwin doesn't want to leave because he is scared that, left alone, they will kill one another. As the others find weapons in the barn (scythes, axes, pitchforks...), they begin to systematically attack each another. After a horrific series of harrowing events, Irwin finds himself alone with only the light of his camera to comfort him. What happens next can not be unseen.
