The two are on there way to an awkward wedding between mutual friends, when their car breaks down on a backcountry road. After waiting around, and between the awkward silence and unspoken argument between the two, Wendy decides it would be more efficient to walk up ahead to find cell any help and to clear her head. Jack stays behind due to a broken leg and to see if he can prove his worth to Wendy by fixing the car. While walking down the road Wendy starts to see signs of eerie behavior, finding rusty tire spikes, strange signs and an old phone booth with what seem to be warnings of what’s really happening behind the scenes in the outskirts of Whitehorse. Once Wendy realizes that the phone is cut-off and the growing suspicion that she isn’t alone, she turns to leave when the phone starts to ring. She answers it only to find a strange distorted message to puts her even more on edge. Wendy’s escalating concern makes her turn back and attempt to find Jack and find a way out of there eerie situation, but when she arrives back at where the car broke down, a new problem has surfaced. A black SUV is now by their car, and Jack is nowhere to be found. Wendy inspects the vehicle but is interrupted by a strange, broadcast from the SUV’s radio. Not soon after this happens a strange man appears and begins to repeat the broadcast. Wendy panics and flees only to find Jack in the distance, but when she gets a closer look she finds that Jack has been possessed.
