Description

Kevin Ostrowski is attempting to reconcile with his estranged, underachieving brother Norm on a camping trip. They’re accompanied by several of Norm’s oddball friends, but when one of these friends dies accidentally, the group buries him in the desert with some very unforeseen (and ridiculous) supernatural consequences.
