Perfect, until the fatal trip to the dreamy estate by the lake. No matter how hard Iris tries to be accepted by Josh's clique, it doesn't work out. Isn't Josh's best friend Kat downright hostile towards her and doesn't the filthy rich Sergey scrutinize her every move with a lewd look? When an accident puts everyone's fate to the test, Iris is forced to realize what is really going on here. But she is deadly fast at learning...

COMPANION is one of those scripts that surprises us so much with its smart twists and turns that we are hardly allowed to say anything about the story. Just this much: the producers of BARBARIAN have once again got themselves a mega-cool project and a great talent in director and writer Drew Hancock. With a sensational cast including Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid, COMPANION is a real gift for genre fans.
