Synopsis/Details
Three teenagers at a sleepaway camp sneak away from their cabin late at night and hike through the forest, coming upon an abandoned village. They find a WANTED poster with a photo of a scarred outlaw, Ruck Jones. One of the boys pulls out his cellphone and looks up who Ruck Jones was and finds out that he was a notorious child killer. When they see a shadowy figure, they hide. It turns out the shadowy figure is Ruck’s ghost, and the camp counselor is a follower of his. Ruck kills two of the boys and the third is knocked out. Hours later, the boy awakes to find himself strapped to a gurney in an ambulance, and a police officer tells him he is the number one suspect in the killing of all the boys at Camp Ticonderoga.
