Private Project

Backflip

Perry and Aaron’s friendship is on the rocks after Perry fails Aaron’s “friendship test” while hiking together on a remote trail. They soon discover Perry’s car battery is dead, leaving them stranded on a desolate dirt road just before nightfall. Their only hope comes in the form of Bill, a threatening countryman, who offers to help if they agree to hangout with his outcast kids. When the bizarre situation takes a deadly turn, Perry attempts to rekindle his friendship with Aaron while they face a life-threatening situation.
