Don (Paul Higgins) has been a tyrant to his sons John (Brian Vernel), Henry (Daniel Portman) and Vince (Calum Ross) all of their lives, and after he has pushed their mother (Anita Vettesse) down some stairs to her death, the brothers decide to, on a camping trip, shoot him dead and hide his body - not to easy a thing to do, as Vince, the youngest, feels somewhat attached to his father despite everything, and John, the middle one, just isn't a killer, so the fatal shot's eventually fired by Henry. Then the three bury the body out in the woods where it's unlikely to be found in a hundred years and back home celebrate the occasion - before realizing they have forgotten the key to dad's safe that's supposed to hold a fortune on his body. So they see themselves forced to return and dig him back up, despite this increasing the chances of them getting caught manyfold. Good thing is, they don't get caught, but bad thing is, the body's gone ... and they're shot at by a person unknown. And while the brothers try to get to safety, they try to figure out what's going on - and start to accuse one another of foul play, pretty much the worst thing to do in a situation as desperately as theirs ...

A very tight thriller for sure, and one that works quite so well because it doesn't have an actual good guy, as all protagonists make themselves guilty of murder within the first five minutes, regardless of who actually pulls the trigger. This of course only adds to the tension of the film, as it's unclear from early on who's going to snap, who (if anyone) is going to survive, and even the audiences's sympathies towards individual characters shift every now and again. The result of this is a multilayered emotional experience, but also a fast-paced action piece that still delivers plenty of suspense, set in front of impressive and atmospheric backdrops, giving the film just the right mood.
