Set in a remote hunting lodge in Canada, "When The Reaper Calls" is a fast moving comedy thriller by Peter Colley.
Victor and Harlan are two philosophy professors who have been friends, rivals and pranksters since their college days. But now Harlan has become a Stoic who has adopted a strict unemotional regimen, while Victor has turned into a wild hedonist who intends to squeeze every drop of pleasure from each fleeting moment.
While they are vacationing with their long-suffering wives at a remote cottage on the coast of British Columbia, Victor sets up a trick to prove to Harlan the falseness of his philosophy, but the trick goes murderously wrong and all their lives are changed forever..
