Canoeing down a river, four city men run into some unfriendly locals. Unable to escape from the gorge in which the river runs, the locals become more and more of a threat.

They left their troubles at the office. Left the wives and kids behind. Four men bound for the wilderness. It was the weekend they hoped for, a great adventure - without their golf clubs. Soon enough, the trip becomes a nightmare when they run into creepy rednecks, Gods forgotten creatures. Based on the novel by James Dicky, its a thriller with drama, a story of survival, a hellish nightmare. The weekend they should have brought their golf clubs.

On a weekend canoeing trip down a river in the Georgia back country, four urban businessmen enter a nightmare in which both nature and mankind conspire to send them through a crucible of danger and degradation in which their lives and perhaps even their souls are put at horrendous risk.

Based on James Dickey's novel, this film tells the story of an ill-fated canoe trip in deep backwoods America, where the people are as scary as the country is beautiful.
