“When a group of LGBTQ+ campers arrives at Whistler Camp – a conversion camp run by Owen Whistler (Bacon) – they are promised a ‘new sense of freedom’ by the end of the week,” the official description reads. “But as the counsellors attempt to psychologically break down each of the campers, a mysterious killer starts claiming victims, and they must reclaim their power if they’re going to survive the horrors of the camp.”
As Whistler welcomes the teens to the camp, he announces, “This is a safe space, for everyone,” but it quickly becomes clear how unsafe things really are.
