Here’s the official synposis of The Corridor: They’ve been the best of buddies for more than a decade, but now they’re changing – getting married, getting promoted, going bald, going insane.

It will lead these five men into fear, into betrayal, and into the biggest change of them all: by weekend’s finish… they’ll be dead.
