Set ten years on from high school drama NEXT TO ME, this film places the former classmates in unfamiliar territory, both physical and psychological. The story quickly moves away from the comfort of the classroom to the untamed wilds of Serbia, and forces the characters to confront nature and reveal their own true colors.The film starts with former college basketball star, Strahinja, now a bank clerk, receiving an invitation to take part in a reality TV show. Keen to escape his daily grind, Strahinja accepts the offer, unaware that he will soon be reunited his high school classmates. While they try to come to grips with being 'randomly selected' for the TV show, masked terrorists attack their bus. Stranded miles from civilization and with limited supplies, the contestant split into two groups and try to make their way out alive.Those most willing to go beyond their safety zone and seek help wander the forest, in an attempt to save themselves, survive in the wild and bring help for the others. As old rivalries resurface and tensions mount among the group, they manage to adapt well to the unforgiving environment, sacrificing for the common good and sharing what they capture or find. Those who remain at the base camp, an abandoned military barracks, carefully manage food supplies and resources that should last several weeks. But as conflicts increase, the group develops an authoritarian social system, based on the dread of starvation, division of power and fear of the terrorists returning.Conflict is inevitable. The outcome is shocking.
