The story
Two enigmatic travelers, Terry and Kaiya, cross the American wilderness of the early 80s. Their journey uncovers dark secrets and pulls them into a series of unexplained killings. At the center of the story is a love between two serial killers, a bond that complicates everything the audience thinks they understand about them, right up to a climax that ties their fates together for good.

A world between beauty and danger
The film is set in the deep south of North America, in a period defined by open roads, uncharted freedom and hidden danger. Every stop on the journey reveals another side of the American wilderness, from sleepy towns to untamed countryside, always with the sense that something darker moves underneath the surface.

Where this fits
Backpacker sits at the crossroads of romance and horror, closer in spirit to Natural Born Killers and Deliverance than to a conventional thriller. The script has already drawn outside recognition: a WeScreenplay evaluation placed it in the Top 15% overall for concept and execution, and in the Top 25% for plot, praising its atmosphere and misdirection around its two leads.
