Plot synopsis

To celebrate graduation, a group of international students of a Prague high school break into an indoor swimming complex, giving them free access to pools, water slides and plenty of alcohol, for the ultimate end-of-school party to remember. Little do they realise a sadistic killer wearing a skull mask, armed with a machete is amongst them, who soon begins systematically slaughtering the teenagers. Soon they begin fighting for their lives, hoping to find a way out of the building alive.
