Plot

A group of young friends take a trip into Jotunheimen National Park.

After opting to camp in the woods instead of staying at the old hotel, the friends soon discover there is a hulking killer amongst the woods, and he may not be alone. Flashbacks show the killer's childhood and youth in the 1970s.[4]
