How much can you trust your friends?

Varian Morris is an average teen with an average girlfriend and a set of average friends. Against the backdrop of 2003, a camping trip turns into a horror game between Varian and two of his friends, Kacey and Padriac. Things turn for the worse when Varian falls down a hill and blacks out only to awaken in an unknown room. Trapped, he's taunted and forced to obey the commands of the person behind a mechanical voice. He's put through trauma, forced to eat the fingers of a dead girl resembling his girlfriend, before he's returned home.

While his family are adamant to get him help, his friends Kacey, Padriac, and Mary seemed unbothered by the mental trauma he's gone through. They act strange and his girlfriend has been picking up on it for years. Only now, she's accusing Kacey of being his kidnapper. Varian is horrified and swears it couldn't be true. While trying to piece his life back together, he grapples with the influx of twisted fantasies and desires unleashed by his hellish nights of imprisonment. His relationships begin to fall apart and when he's just starting to get help, he's kidnapped again.
