A winter mystery at Camp Itawa

During Camp Itawa’s off-season, a film crew turns the summer camp into a base for a low-budget horror movie. Stoney St. Ney, the camp’s wilderness instructor and handyman, balances duties at the camp with stunt work and uncertainty in his relationship with Abby. When Rachel, newly part of his life, dies in what appears to be a snowstorm car crash, Stoney follows clues suggesting the death was not an accident. The setup brings a romantic complication into a mystery rooted in a remote camp’s winter routine, with the filmmaking crew adding a second strand to the story.
