A caretaker at a summer camp is burned when a prank goes tragically wrong. After several years of intensive treatment at hospital, he is released back into society, albeit missing some social skills. What follows is a bloody killing spree with the caretaker making his way back to his old stomping ground to confront one of the youths that accidentally burned him.
A twitchy, vengeful presence haunts the woods after a summer camp prank turns fatal. This slasher trades psychological nuance for jagged practical effects and a relentless, scorched-earth pursuit of revenge.
