Fired from his job and facing eviction, this might be the worst night of Craig’s life. While drowning his sorrows in a bar, he runs into Vince, a childhood friend he hasn’t seen in years. Their reunion takes an unexpected turn when they’re approached by Colin and Violet, an eccentric and wealthy couple with a strange but simple offer: complete a few dares for cash.

Sounds like an easy payday… at first. As the stakes rise and the dares become ever more twisted, Craig and Vince are pushed to their physical and moral limits in a warped contest where only one can come out on top.

Pat Healy, Sara Paxton, Ethan Embry, and David Koechner star.
