About Seven Hours In Heaven

During a weekend getaway, six friends play a game that tests their relationships, and changes their lives forever.

Six friends meet up at a cabin for their annual getaway, but none of them can guess what the weekend has in store. After a night of heavy drinking, they choose to play an adult variation of the game 'Seven Minutes in Heaven'.

The fallout from this decision tests their bonds of friendship, and causes them to question their relationships. Ultimately, they each must look beyond the face they present to the world and decide who they really want to be.
