Here's a synopsis for Sam's Lake from the TFF website: "In this debut horror feature, a young woman brings some friends to a lakeside house in an isolated area, where 40 years earlier a deranged teenager murdered his entire family. Instead of relaxation and fun, the group discovers that the murderer's legacy persists, and that their own lives are threatened by the legend of Sam's Lake."

Here's a synopsis for Sam's Lake from the website of international sales agent Mirovision Inc.: "In the quaint area near the lake, an escaped psychiatric patient makes his way through the surrounding wilderness, back to his childhood home, slaughtering his family in their sleep and disappearing into the woods, never to be found. Many years later, the horrifying massacre has turned into legend as disappearances haunt the surrounding towns. Sam (Fay Masterson) is a young woman who, every summer, returns home to the secluded lakeside cottage where she grew up. There she reconnects with her traditions, old friends, and memories of the past. This year, a group of hip, young urbanites - Kate (Sandrine Holt), Franklin (Stephen Bishop), Melanie (Megan Fahlenbock), and Dominik (Salvatore Antonio) - join Sam on her annual trip. But when Sam and her friend Jesse (William Gregory Lee), a local to the area, take the group on an adventure to visit the site of the murder, they all come face to face with the terrifying legend of 'Sam's Lake'."
