At a media-swamped party to celebrate his seventieth birthday and screen his avant-garde film-in-progress, a legendary but jaded Hollywood director is faced both with voracious fans and unsettling questions about what became of his lead actor.

Seven friends reunite at an isolated summer cabin. Archie shows up with an axe to grind and begins acting a bit strange. Suddenly he goes missing, leaving the others to wonder whether he's coming back. The woods are a big place. Tough to find a lost pal, or see one coming.
