During a quite get-a-way at a Northwoods lake house rental property, college friends (Claire & Zoe) and family come together for a vacation on the lake. Beautiful and comfortable, the surroundings quickly feel awkward as the visitors receive overt messages from the locals. Even the house rules contain information that was unexpected. Determined to have a good time, Stephen and Claire spend quality time with Stephen’s son, Kyle, while they expect their next child later that year. Jack, the infamous guys guy, refusing to grow up, just wants to drink, eat and swim. Girlfriend Zoe is the girl next door, spending time with Claire and attending to Jack’s demands. It doesn’t take long for mysterious events to start occurring to our cabin guests, all while they take in the fun activities available and push the rules. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and yell at the screen, as our lake house guests navigate the confusing signals from the towns people and oddities happening at the lake.
