Synopsis

Four college roommates drive across the country to a mysterious monastery in the Arizona desert where an ancient brotherhood claims to grant immortality. The catch is devastating: of every four who apply, two must die so the other two may live forever, and the young men begin to suspect that each of them has secret reasons for wanting the others to be the ones who don't survive.
