Synopsis
"In 1957 at Camp Crystal Lake, a young camper drowns in the lake when the attending counselors fail to intervene. When the boy's mother learns of the incident she begins a murderous rampage enacting revenge on the counselors before they manage to decapitate her. Over 20 year later, the camp has reopened and a new staff of counselors arrive for two weeks of training before the campers arrive. When the counselors begin going missing and their bodies discovered, it becomes eerily clear that Jason didn't drown as a child."
