PlotA shy and introverted Angela Baker, along with her protective cousin Ricky, is sent to a summer camp several years after a tragic family accident. Angela's awkward demeanor and silence make her the target of pranks and bullying by other campers and even some counselors. Ricky fiercely defends his cousin, but as tensions rise, strange and increasingly violent incidents begin to happen at the camp. The camp's owners and staff are perplexed as to who could be responsible for such malevolent acts. The once fun-filled environment quickly turns sinister, leaving everyone on edge.
As the camp's activities go on, friendships and alliances form amidst the chaos, while Angela continues to be ostracized. The tension among the campers intensifies with each mysterious episode. Meanwhile, Ricky does his best to shield Angela from the cruelty she faces, but his efforts often find him in trouble as well. The atmosphere at the camp becomes increasingly paranoid and dangerous, leading the staff to question everyone's behavior. A sense of dread envelops the camp as the group edges closer to uncovering the truth about the unfolding horrors, confronting their darkest fears.
