Premise
The series revolves around eleven people who are dropped into an '80s inspired lakeside lodge where they learn it's not the Summer Camp they had envisioned, but a Killer Camp with a secret murderer among them.
The contestants are tasked with earning money whilst simultaneously decoding the killer's identity before they end up "dead" themselves.
