Victor and Harlan are two young philosophy
professors who have been friends, rivals and
inveterate pranksters since their student
days, but things have changed. Victor has
turned into a wild hedonist in keeping with his
belief that “When you're dead, you're dead”,
while Harlan has become a dull stoic leading a
strict unemotional existence in preparation for
the afterlife.
They are on holiday with their long suffering wives in the Canadian wilderness, and Victor has devised a prank which he believes will prove the falseness of Harlan's philosophy and shake him out of his passionless state – but the prank goes horribly wrong. After a heated argument a shot is fired and one of the professors lies dead.
This is far from the end of the story however; in
fact, the nightmare is just beginning ......
