Help!

Ashton and Callahan have been best friends since high school. As different as they are, their relationship is very close. Together they grew up, together they became men, together they discovered the world, life and love.   Ash is cool, likeable, beautiful and a womanizer. Cal calmer, introverted, headstrong, but most of all secretly in love for years, in love with his best friend Ash. Cal has never said, shown or acted out these feelings towards him. The deep friendship was much too important to him, too high the risk to jeopardize this unity. This was the only way Cal could be at Ash's side, unharmed all these years. Experience him, feel him, dive into his secret fantasies.   Writing connects the two attractive up-and-coming authors and together they travel to the country to finally end the last chapters of their horror movie script. They spend three intensive days in idyllic peace, nature and creativity. Again, and again Cal remembers the many wonderful moments with Ash. The laughter, being there for each other, the first sexual experiences they had together. A true male friendship, away from inhibition, condemnation and weird feelings. Cal likes to dive into this time, keeps it for himself, for nights, in his heart; dreams. After finishing the script and leaving, they notice the word HELP! in the window of landlord Ronald´s mansion. Unconsidered and without further thought about the meaning behind it, they return to their usual lives, only to be told by Ash's girlfriend Ellie, that they should have called the police, that this was their duty. The three travel back to the cottage to answer the call for help. A journey they should never have undertaken.   Ronald’s façade as the nice and slightly eccentric landlord, crumbles as Ash, Cal and Ellie discover his dark secret behind closed doors. He abducts female guests and holds them hostage in his basement where they get raped and forcibly impregnated just to sell their newborns to human traffickers. A horror trip begins, that no one could have foreseen and not only changes the relationship between Ellie and Ash, but also reveals a side of Cal that dwarfs everything the three will experience on the ground.   HELP! is not just a story about two best friends who make a cruel and perverse discovery. HELP! is above all a story about what happens when love is not returned? When affection turns into psychosis and friends as such came but as such will not finish their way.
