Plot Summary

During his summer vacation, Brad Land tells his brother Brett that he will go home when his crush Leah leaves the party where they are. Two strangers tell him that they are friends of the owner of the house and ask for a ride. However, Brad is brutally assaulted by the criminals that carjack and rob his bank account. Still shocked, he travels to the university and Brett, who is a member of the Phi Sigma Mu fraternity, tries to convince him not to join the fraternity. However, Brad and his roommate Will decide to pledge Phi Sigma Mu and along the hell week, they are submitted with the other candidates to a hazing with several tortures and humiliations. The leaders Chance, Dixon and Baity are very brutal and when Will dies of heart attack while running, but shows several bruises on his body, there is an investigation and Brad is accused of being a rat.
