Character Reference

From their friends at school, mixed
reviews. From their parents happy to
vouch for their wayward sons, they
are just ordinary boys; you know, boys
will be boys. Video games, that's what
brought them together, ordinary things
like that; chat rooms in dark corners
of the Internet. Oh, and an obsession
with Nazi memorabilia, admiration 
for neo-Nazi groups, the occasional
photo sent along to friends sharing a
love of shoot-'em-up videos, fully
garbed in camouflage, wielding a rifle
Nazi insignia in proud display, just
a kid's obsession, you know? Then the
road trip ostensibly heading to the Yukon
for two teens to look for work, and on
the way a distraction. Soon after the
bodies of a young couple travelling from
abroad to see remote parts of Canada.
Followed by the discovery of another
body as their trip continued. Concerns
over the whereabouts of two teens who
stopped contacting family: another two
bodies awaiting discovery? Suddenly
the absent teens are suspects in the grisly
murders and police with sniffer dogs
and helicopters track their movements
at the 'top of the world', where they may
be stumbling through a vast northern
forest as wanted fugitives. Bears there
are aplenty, boggy terrain, ferocious
insects to drive them insane. It is most
definitely not revenge motivating their
capture but a search for justice. In which
case they should be left to suffer a like
end they imposed on their victims and
may they experience the hopeless fear
and anguish those they slaughtered did.
