When Derek moves to a new town and discovers a shortcut through the woods to his high school, he learns about a crazy old man who lives near its path: Legend has it that he abducted a group of teenagers years ago. Ignoring the warning, Derek and his friends set out to uncover the dark secret that's buried deep in the woods. But will they survive to tell it?
Ignoring local legends about a kidnapping hermit turns a simple walk through the woods into a desperate fight for survival. This tense thriller trades slow burns for sudden, sharp scares as a group of friends discovers some paths are better left untaken.
