They leave behind phones and noise for fishing and fresh air. This isolation becomes a liability when they encounter something watching them from the trees. The story begins with unidentifiable footprints and heavy steps in the dark. Distant howls that do not echo right signal danger. By the second night, their campsite is no longer safe.
