Working nine to five can be a real killer. However, when you work for Palisade Defence, team-building holidays can be even worse.
The office workers of weapons multi-national Palisade Defence have been sent to the Hungarian mountains for that most dreaded of events - the office bonding weekend. Among those roped in to participate include the determined but incompetent boss Richard (Tim McInnerny; Spooks, Blackadder), perpetually high Steven (Dyer; The Business, The Football Factory), American office hottie Maggie (Laura Harris; 24), eternally optimistic technology geek Gordon (Andy Nyman) and Oxbridge rogue (Toby Stephens).
Abandoned by their bus driver when they reach a blockage in the main road, the group sets off on foot, arriving at a ramshackle building in the woods. Assuming they’ve arrived at their destination, they settle in for the night.
However, it soons becomes clear that Palisade is hiding a dark history. The corporation pioneered a rehabilitation programme for wayward soldiers – a treatment so inhumane it left all survivors hell-bent on revenge.
When masked men are seen peering in through the windows at night tensions rise, and the decision is made to leave the next morning. However, next morning turns out to be far too late… forget office politics, only the smartest will survive this bloody office outing.
