Their weekend is quickly interrupted by an invading boy scout troop and their aggressive scout leader. Things get even worse when the Axe Man, a killer who stalks the dark forests surrounding Camp Bell, once again dons his bloodstained mask and becomes hell bent on hunting the girls down. The girls fight to survive as the Axe Man hunts them through the forest, leaving a trail of blood and bodies in his wake.
