Plot

The film opens with the statement: "What you are about to see is inspired by true events. According to the FBI, there are an estimated 1.4 million violent crimes in America each year. On the night of February 11, 2005, Kristen McKay and James Hoyt left a friend's wedding reception and returned to the Hoyt summer home. The brutal events that took place there are still not entirely known". It is followed by a recorded 911 call of a boy screaming that he and his friend found two bodies lying in blood in an old vacation house.

The film then moves to the present. A young couple, Kristen and James, arrive at the remote vacation house. James had proposed to Kristen there, but she refused, saying that she is not ready for marriage. James calls his friend Mike to come pick him up in the morning. Shortly after 4 a.m., a young blonde woman, whose face is obscured by low lighting, knocks on the front door asking for Tamara. When told by James and Kristen she is at the wrong house, she asks if they're sure, then leaves with the caveat that she will "see them later".
