A group of six 20-something-year-old friends gather in a mountain cabin to enjoy a well-deserved vacation. It's just that they can't enjoy anything, it seems. What is supposed to be a fun and carefree evening devolves into a drunken circus of attempted infidelity, nonsense, and weird religion...all under the watchful gaze of a hungry girl that only one character -- despite his best efforts -- is able to see.
