Steve, planning to propose, has found an idyllic setting: a remote lake enclosed by woodlands and seemingly deserted. The couple's peace is shattered when a gang of obnoxious kids encircles their campsite. Reveling in provoking the adults, the gang steals the couple's belongings and vandalizes their car leaving them completely stranded. When Steve confronts them, tempers flare and he suffers a shocking and violent attack. Fleeing for help, Jenny is subject to a brutal and relentless game of cat-and-mouse as she desperately tries to evade her young pursuers and find her way out of the woods.

Hello?

Steve!

Ugh!

Steve?

Steve, stop messing around!

- Steve!

- Ooh ah ha ha ha!

- That was horrible.

- I'm sorry.

- Get off!

- I'm really sorry.

- Ow! You're freezing!

- Then warm me up.

You're a big, crude, pikey oaf!

I love you. Love you.

Eugh!

I am absolutely starving.

- I could eat a horse.

- So move to France.

F***!

Sh*t!

- What's happened?

- Little f***ers!

- How's your tyre, mate?

- F***ing git!

Little f***ers!

No, wait, Steve!

- Watch it!

- Sh*t!

You should've got a smaller body,

f***ing dollar boy!

- Breakfast?

- F***!

Right, what would you like?

The full English

with white toast and coffee.

- And for you?

- I'll get the same.

Hey, you wouldn't have seen a bunch

of kids tooling around on BMXs?

Certainly have. Been terrorising you?

- Well, hassling us.

- Little terrors.

I wouldn't worry too much,

a big boy like you.

They punctured my back tyre.

I thought parents might want to know.

Not my kids.

- No, I didn't mean they were your kids.

- Not mine.

Never mind.

I don't want any trouble.

Making friends?

I think she likes me.

What the?

No, Steve, it's not worth it.

If everyone said that, where would we be?

I'll be back in a minute.

Hello?

Anyone home?

Hello?

- Come on, you're blocking my drive!

- OK.

- Come on!

- All right!

Sorry!

Stupid b*tch!

Sh*t!

Brett! Is that you?

Get down here now!

Can't run away, little bunny.

Yeah, that's right,

you can't because you're in a box.

Brett!

Brett, don't make me come up there!

Sh*t!

Brett!

The hutch should be destroyed. Burn it.

Brett!

Let's go!

I can feel that schoolteacher look.

Yeah, you're lucky.

You could have broken something.

- Let's just enjoy the weekend.

- Yeah, I'd like that.

Yes?

- You were going to say something?

- No, not a word.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, I'm sure.

- I thought you were looking at my foot.

- No, wait. No, no!

- You're going in!

- Steve, no!

No!

- Oh, it's f***ing freezing.

- Language!

All right, lazy bones?

It's amazing the stuff you find

at the bottom of the lake.

Steve, where's the beach bag?

It was right here.

I don't believe it.

It's got the car keys in it.

Please, God, don't tell me...

F***!

F***! F***!

Tossers!

- Are you OK?

- Yeah.

Jenny, come on.

- Come on.

- No... Let's just leave it.

They've got our car.

Go on, go on. Go on!

F***ing shitting itself! F*** off!

Brett!

Listen... I don't care

what you're up to here.

- I just want my car back.

- It's not us, mate.

Car keys, phone, wallet.

- Not us, mate.

- Steve, come on. Let's leave it.

- You're wearing my shades.

- They're mine, mate.

Your Ray-Ban Aviators?

Fakes, mate.

Yeah, Steve, come on.

Listen... You've had your fun.
