Synopsis:  A sighting of an off the grid cabin in a west bound wood sends locals fearing for the lives of one another. It has the nearby town in absolute chaos. This all before the best and most prestigious ghost hunters enter to keep a close eye on it and protect the town. The job on hand, however, is not one man job, so the protagonist, played by Tom Hans, has two rookies either side of him. Played by Thomas Jane and Stephen Root. This may cause more mayhem than a solution for our protagonist but the two rookies will eventually be exactly what our protagonist needs to come a final conclusion. All the research had been done in preparation for the dramatic climax. Except when they bust in there is nothing but a bloody knife overhanging on the kitchen sink. This puts the viewing audience on edge as the following scene involves one of the side men, played by Thomas Jane, kidnaped and held hostage, being used for insider information. The audience don't still get to see the kidnaper or the interrogator. This is when the protagonist make a life changing decision to spend a week in the cabin whilst protection on guard, and see if he can be used as bait for the killer. This would be nearly the last scene and would be left on a dramatic cliff hanger with our protagonist in the cabin and every police and agent around in the woods. Leaving the audience wanting to see what happens next.
