|---|
"Five women who have been best friends since college are getting together for their annual vacation. This year it is Helen's choice. She is interested in the bizarre and The Totem Pole Lodge seems like the perfect choice for this year's trip. The abandoned hotel has a terrible history of lodgers having been killed by a mass murderer. The girls are having a blast until they realize that they aren't alone. After deciding to stay the night and leave in the morning, they find the keys to be missing. When morning comes, one of the girls is gone and the others set out to find her. The same thing that happened twelve years before is happening again by the hands of the same killer. The remaining four girls go through a series of events that make their college adventures pale in comparison. Through friendship and a search for justice, the girls are determined to find the person responsible for the death of their friend and when they find him, they will make him pay."
