Synopsis

After a hard night of partying two teens, Andrew and Kian are driving home there blasting music having a good time not really paying attention to the rode. A man stumbles into the middle of the road and before either of them knew what was happening they ran the man over. They rushed out of the car and check the body Andrew declares the man to be dead. After a brief period of freeking out, they decided that they can’t go to the police and need to hide the body. They load the body into the back of the truck and head off to Kian’s house (whose parents are out of town for the week) on the car ride there Kian starts to fret about what there doing and how it’s wrong. When they get to Kian’s house Andrew has the idea to put the body in the freezer as there shoving it in we see the body’s eyes kinda open a bit but before the boys notice they slam the freezer door repeatedly to try to get him in knocking the man out. After getting the body in the freezer they look through google and find a wikiHow of how to hide the body.

We proceed with a monogesh of them getting the equipment for hiding the body as well as planning out where they would hide the body. 

They shove some trash bags over the body to hide it and tie it up. They load the body and supplies into the car and head off. We cut to them in the mountains caring the body the sun is starting to come out as their walking Kian who is holding the head feels the head twitch he screams and drops the head. He Kian starts to freak out more and more saying what he’s alive that they need to go to the police and explain the situation Andrew tells him that they can’t and that their lives will be ruined if they go to the police just then the body jumps up yelling. Andrew freaks out and hits him over the head with the shovel the body drops back to the floor. After a discussion of what to do they decide to take him to the hospital. When they get to the hospital they take the man and hand him off to some nurses when they asked what happened they told them that they found him on the side of the road like that and when the nurses asked for there information they looked and each other and without saying anything they take off running take off sprinting they just into the car and start to back out when all of a sudden they hit another person Andrew looks at Kian and just says DRIVE and they speed off into the distance.
