When life no longer thrills you, how far would you go to feel something again?

Every year, five longtime friends—now all in their fifties—escape their routines for one last taste of adventure. Fishing trips. Vegas weekends. Booze-fueled stories around the fire. But this year, it’s different. The jobs are gone, the marriages are crumbling, the world feels colder. Retirement looms like a joke no one’s laughing at. They're tired of feeling like less.

So when a drunken argument turns into a twisted idea—why not raise the stakes?—they agree to something no one ever expected: a real-life hunt. One of them will be chosen as prey. The others will track him through the wilderness until sunrise. No phones. No turning back. A game with one rule: survive.

Then Claire shows up. Eric’s estranged wife. The one who's been sleeping with someone in the group. She wants in. And she's not the only one hiding something.

By dawn, two of them will be dead. And the rest will never be the same.



A brutal, razor-edged exploration of masculinity, betrayal, and the desperation for meaning in a life already half-lived—To Kill a Friend is survival horror with a human heart and a vicious pulse.
