Plot Summary: Working nine to five is a real
killer, but teambuilding holidays can sometimes be even worse.
A coach lurches out of the hustle and bustle of Budapest and heads towards the
mountainous border. Aboard are seven employees of the international weapons
manufacturer Palisade Defence, global suppliers of innovative weaponry for the
past 75 war-torn years. The lucky group are being treated to a team-building
weekend at the company's newly built luxury spa lodge by their president, George
Cinders.
But things quickly go awry as the colleagues find themselves faced with the chop
when their corporate weekend is sabotaged by a deadly enemy. Forget office
politics, only the smartest will survive this bloody office outing.
