It started off as a family vacation, but when Burt and his sister Sammi discover the remains of a human skeleton hidden in the woods, it's just the beginning of the horror.

Terrified they contact the police, but when they return to the spot where the skeleton had lain, it is gone.

Suddenly surrounded by death, Burt feels driven to help the girl.

Can he rescue this beautiful stranger and escape with his life?
