Eli is headed out on a wilderness camping weekend with his boyfriend Brady and their best friends Keith and Stefan. For the guys, this weekend getaway is to celebrate graduating high school, but for Eli, it's about creating wonderful final memories with Brady before he breaks up with him.It's not that he doesn't love Brady, it's that he doesn't deserve Brady.Brady is a young man that's going somewhere—not just to the west coast for university—but in life. He has prospects ahead of him and the support of loving family behind him. Eli has none of those. Orphaned when he was just ten, he's bounced from foster home to foster home and in a few weeks when he turns eighteen, he's out on his own with no supports and no one behind him. He doesn't want to drag down Brady with this, because it will eventually lead to the end of their relationship—so going out with good memories is the plan.But for Eli, this plan is a weakness. Something evil has latched onto his unhappiness and his fears of rejection and isolation. When they set out on a hike to an abandoned church, it's a trek Eli won't return from as he is entrapped by a demon that draws on his deepest fears and brings them to life.
