Were the four hoodlums at CAMP 2020 victims of accidental deaths, suicide, or were they murdered?
It's 1978 in the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains, where Captain John Goode has set up a strictly run camp for teenage criminals--societal rejects. Goode's program has had moderate successes with turning troubled boys around, until one kid after another are found dead on the strongly controlled grounds.
It soon becomes obvious that the boys are being systematically murdered, each killing becoming more brazen and violent than the last!
Is the murderer one of the counselors Goode trusts or one of the boys?
Goode is able to keep a lid on things until an overzealous cub reporter, Eric Mullins, gets wind of the deaths. Will Goode be able to control the young upstart like he tries to control the camp?
Perhaps.
That is until Ray Lopez becomes the newest "camper." Lopez is trouble: there's bad, and then there is rattlesnake mean! Lopez stirs the emotions of the other boys from adulation to fear with unchecked violence, a total disregard of the rules, and blatant defiance from the moment his handcuffs are removed, and he is handed over to Goode.
Goode's problems have just become much worse, soon to become climactic in every regard, and a good man's intentions go horribly wrong at CAMP 2020.
