After years of lackluster sequels and a dwindling fan base, the slasher franchise Camp Miasma is entrusted to an ambitious young director for a revival. When she visits the former star of the original films—an actress who now lives in seclusion and is shrouded in mystery—the two women find themselves drawn into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delusion.
