"7.3. 2024 Three American tourists are taking a dream vacation in Finland - a questionable idea in itself - but they end up in serious danger after illegally crossing the border between Finland and the Soviet Union. There are some good propaganda films like "The Manchurian Candidate", but there are much more generic junk like "Born American".

Homma eskaloituu nopeasti, kun hieman myöhemmin tyypit jo tappavat pikkukylän hengellisen johtajan ja päätyvät kovaotteiseen supervankilaan, jossa pelataan shakkia ihmisillä ja syödyksi tuleminen tarkoittaa kuolemista.
