Before New Year's in 1996, five friends beyond teenage hell-raising years drive to a cabin near Lake Tahoe and are trapped there by pounding weather and a mudslide that overturned their car and left one badly injured. They trade memories and revelations, of course, before things get really dark.

VERDICT What sounds like a standard setup is anything but, given the liquid language, sharp exchanges, and cutting insights that result.
