Storia
Three American backpackers, Paxton, Josh, and Oli, travel to Slovakia expecting a wild time. They meet up with a local named Kana who takes them to a hostel known for its hedonistic atmosphere. Unbeknownst to them, the hostel is actually a front for an elite club that pays rich clients to torture and kill tourists. When Paxton discovers what's happening, it's too late for Josh but not for him or Oli. With Kana's help, they try to escape their fate.
