Five teenagers drive to a house out in the country in order to study for their final exams. On the way, they pick up a young hitchhiker who rubs their nerves so raw that they desert him at the gas station and throw his bag out the window. A fateful mistake. Because next morning, the hitchhiker is standing at the front door – accompanied by two young men. They force their way into the house and start terrorizing the teenagers.
A perfidious game of power, dark and oppressive. Fans of thrillers will devour BECAUSE.
