Synopsis:

A teenage party of six spends one last weekend together at a remote cottage. Every single one of them has a specific reason to come along. But it's not friendship. Strecker (Vinzenz Kiefer), the self-proclaimed, egomaniac leader has recently been abandoned by hs girlfriend Jasmin and can't deal with this disgrace. He wants to win her back. Jasmin (Anna Bertheau) invigorates her decision and sleeps with Sören, the Nerd. Steffi (Natalie Spinell) serves as Streckers' satisfactional substitute, endures his humiliations while wishing to turn him into a better person. Betz (Tobias Schenke) wants to hit on Maike by playing rough jokes. Maike (Alica Dwyer) is Jasmin's little sister and wants so dearly to be part of the group that she tolerates every act on her. Sören (Christian Polito) wants to prove his intellectual superiority to the others when all he wishes for is respect. It is not friendship that chains to group together but a hierarchical order. And they have only two days to bring a change to this order or they will drop out as losers.

Gathered in an isolated house in the middle of a forest, six recently graduated youths decide to spend a weekend together before each one going their way. Strecker, an egomaniac, declares himself the group leader. He is with Steffi, but wants to win back Jasmin, his ex-girlfriend, who is with Sören. The strain increases, and what could have been fun becomes a dangerous and violent game.
