Minutes: 86

Format: WIDESCREEN

Rated: NOT RATED

Genre: THRILLER

The line between fantasy and reality quickly merges in this psychological drama set within the elaborate mini-world of a role-playing game -- based on an ancient legend -- that's being staged in Quebec by a large cast of costumed enthusiasts. When shaman Murtagh (Trevor Hayes) launches an attack on his tribal foes, the results are disastrous. The arrival of outsider Erik (Ricky Mabe), who refuses to play, further spikes the tension.
