Alex Cobb

Eight longtime friends head deep into the wilderness for an annual camping trip, hoping for a weekend away from the pressures of everyday life. But when a masked stranger emerges from the woods and brutally murders one of them, their getaway becomes a fight for survival. Trapped and surrounded by a mysterious group known as The Eyes, the remaining campers are given an impossible choice: identify a supposed traitor among them—or sacrifice one of their own each night. As fear and paranoia take hold, friendships fracture and long-buried resentments rise to the surface. With no way out and trust becoming a liability, the group must decide how far they are willing to go to survive. Because in the wilderness, the greatest threat may not be the people hunting them. It may be what they are capable of becoming.
