In the dense woods, a group of friends gather around a campfire, where Pete recounts
the eerie local legend of Vincent Banks—a man whose life descended into violence
and tragedy following a brutal home invasion. While some friends are skeptical, others
are uneasy, and tension mounts as a figure lurks in the shadows. Pete ventures away to
relieve himself and meets a brutal end at the hands of Vincent himself. Back at the
campsite, the others grow concerned and begin to search, leading to a series of horrific
encounters with the menacing Vince, who claims to be related by blood to one of their
own, Lindsay. A foreshadowed pregnancy reveals a continuance of the bloodline,
setting the roots for future strife.
19 years later, Lindsay's son, Carter, is unknowingly drawn into his family's dark past as
Vince returns to exact revenge upon the Strattons, his perceived enemies. Carter and
his friends, blind to the danger lurking within the forest, set forth for a weekend at Bear
Lake. Unbeknownst to them, they tread the ground saturated with their parents' blood,
triggering a violent chain of events as Vince and the recently introduced Richard,
Carter's estranged uncle, ruthlessly hunt them. As long-held truths unravel, and familial

As the night of bloodshed intensifies, Carter faces the ultimate choice between his
newfound Banks lineage and his Stratton upbringing. Fateful decisions cast dark
shadows, betrayal surfaces, and a violent climax reveals Carter's true allegiance. The
survivors are left scarred and irrevocably changed. In the aftermath, clarity melds with
confusion, as Carter seemingly embraces his Banks heritage, only to be offered a malevolent pact. Stranded between life and death, Carter's final fate is left ambiguous,
