Synopsis Husband Lars and wife Lisa are fed up with each other and plan on murdering each other during their trip to their cabin. However, their plans go awry when three fugitives take them captive. Plot Lars is a dissatisfied soap opera director and his wife, Lisa, is an actress who can't make it. Having left for a weekend to go on a cabin trip, both plan to murder each other. Viktor, a friend of Lars, wants to help him carry out his murderous intentions in exchange for a share of Lisa's life insurance. As Lars attacks Lisa with a hammer, she tasers him, leaving him temporarily immobilised. But after having tied Lars up, the naïve Viktor arrives and turns the situation around in Lars' favour. When Lisa reveals that she can offer Viktor more money than Lars, a fight ensues in which Lars seriously injures Viktor. Begged by his wife to do something, Lars misunderstands and shoots Viktor with a gun, killing him. In the fight that follows, the gun goes off, with the shot passing through the ceiling and hitting a man hiding in the attic. One by one, three men fall down as the ceiling collapses.
