SYNOPSIS
In the 1970’s and early 1980’s the government funded a grant program that brought at risk youth together, placing them in the wilderness to learn survival skills.
Set in the summer of 1980, three Chicago high school teachers unite six gang members and bring them to the Appalachian wilderness to learn how to work together. LUCIFER, SHEPHERD, and CAESAR represent the top leaders of their gangs.
As the three teachers lead their group into the dark wilderness, misfortune drives the group off course and into forbidden territory. During the night, an attack is made on the group, separating the teachers from the teenagers. One ruthless attack after another is made on the teenagers, organized as a hunting sport by a group of mountain renegades.
Lucifer, Shepherd and Caesar unite their own members to battle the isolationists, beating them at their own game. For unknown to the mountain dwellers, these teenagers are very adept in defending themselves.
Written in the style of American International/Roger Corman films of the sixties, Trespass is an unblinking, brutal and symbolic representation of war on our own homefront and the sacrifices that are made.
