Ash Carson moved to Escape, Colorado to get away from the hassle of working in National and State parks. Something about them seemed to bring out the strangest traits in visitors. Though, the small town and hiking trails may not be what she was looking for. Forrester Wolf tells her that it's worse in Escape. There's buildings hiding in the woods which were lost to time, unexplainable occurrences, and warns that no one is ever alone when they are in the woods. Ash thinks he's just trying to scare her, but when she gets lost in the woods, she realizes it's worse than he described.
