CGiii Comment

For a TV movie...it really is not that bad.

Good acting and a tight script keeps you watching – even though the story is a little implausible.

The issues of misguidedness and rejection are handled fairly well – even if a little too simplistic.

This won’t win awards...but, it is a watchable little thriller - with enough to keep you interested until the end.

The(ir) Blurb...

When lawyer DJ Farraday discovers his father has been having an affair, the two drive out to the remote family cabin to talk things over. What neither expects is that DJ's estranged gay brother Campbell will already be there, apparently planning a weekend retreat with his boyfriend. But father and sons are forced to put aside their grievances when two escaped convicts show up and put everyone's lives in danger.
