Plot
3 Day Weekend follows the point of view of four different characters through the same events of one three day weekend. Each point of view creates a different perspective of what is happening, initially as an amateur camper stumbling across a kidnapping in progress, then a jailhouse rendezvous, a double-cross, and eventually a revenge plot, depending on which character is misinterpreting the story.
