Kyle, Brad, and Eric spend time in their abandoned cabin in the woods. The best friends are not the most popular. Kyle has a crush on Megan. His home life is problematic. One day, they find injured Luke (Chris Penn) recuperating in their hideout. He claims to be a cop on the run from corrupt colleagues.
This is fine as a Canadian indie. Penn is the most notable actor. With younger kids, it would be more believable and more intense. The audience would fear for younger boys more. The danger level would simply be higher. Although with older boys, Megan can be old enough for that scene to work. It is possibly the best scene in the movie. A better Megan would make it even better. The low production value keeps this strictly in indie territories. This struggles to be better than that.
