The film tells the story of five people who share a camper to reach the same destination. While travelling, during the night, they have a car crash. Because of the crash they lose their senses and when they wake up, they find themselves far away from the road and near a big forest. The only building nearby is a house made of wood, that features pictures of creatures and/or people with strange masks. Only afterwards they find out that the house hosts the adepts of a sinister cult. The five people start to wonder how they ended up there and how they can trust one another but what is the truth?
