The story

What Is Manhunt About?

The premise of Manhunt without spoilers.

It’s the summer of 1974 when four friends head out for a weekend of hiking and camping in a forest. At a truck stop they pick up an anxious hitchhiker who, after a short ride, demands they stop. Terrified of something she can’t name, she trembles with nausea before the group is ambushed, left unconscious and thrust into a nightmarish ordeal.
