Plot
Chapter 1
Rina wakes up hanging upside down. She is tied to a tree branch by a long fabric. Rina has no recollection of the events before this. She looks down to see a person slumped against the tree she is hanging from and calls out to him/her, but he/she does not answer. Rina acquires a backpack hanging from a nearby tree branch and gets a switchblade and a bottle of energy drink. Rina cuts herself loose, but loses her grip on the tree branch and falls to the ground. Her leg collides with sharp protrusions of a stray branch on the ground. Rina spouts vulgarities and acquires a first aid kit nearby the slumped person. She gets a bottle of disinfecting alcohol and gauze, and grabs a flashlight that is nearby her. To her disappointment the items are not enough to provide a good bandage for her gruesome wound. She checks on the slumped person, who is dead. She takes his shirt and uses it as a bandage after removing the branch from her leg. Afterwards, she picks up a survival knife and a GPS/walkie-talkie device. She also keeps the backpack for a larger inventory! She checks the corpse's pockets and finds a strange box which she does not open. Rina whirls around to find dead bodies littered everywhere, bodies that she somehow didn't see before. A scream sounds from the distance and Rina follows it and a noticeable trail on the ground. Rina finds her friend, Glade, who looks seriously injured. Rina pulls her away from a nearby cliff to safety and discovers her arm is broken. Glade speaks nonsense, saying that voices are speaking to her, telling her that Rina is the cause of the horror. Rina is stumped by this and encounters a shadowy being who looms over Glade. He wields a hatchet and has a horribly disfigured face. Rina interrogates the creature, who reveals Rina is the "shackles" that bind "them" to her "fleshy prison." Not understanding a word of what the thing is talking about, Rina pulls out the box, which the creature seems to recognize, but states she cannot do anything with it. It ends the conversation by beckoning a hurricane. Rina holds on to the ground for dear life, but Glade is dragged over to the cliff. She calls out Rina's name but Rina is too late to save her. Glade plummets off the cliff and the wind stops. It is evident, however, that she is still alive. Her screams echo throughout the valley below. To Rina's right, she sees police vehicles making their way across a winding road toward the area Rina woke up in. Rina then encounters a spiritual being surrounded by light, who offers Rina their aid. Rina interrogates the spirit and they claim they can suppress the dark forces. Rina accepts the spirit and it merges with her body. Rina goes down the cliff face and follows the trail Glade left behind. She comes up to a winding road and finds a lone cabin to her right, which she goes to. She knocks and a male raccoon answers. He says Glade is resting inside and lets Rina in. As Rina watches over Glade, she informs the raccoon about what happened. He claims he already called 911 and that people are coming to help. He goes to the kitchen to make Rina something to eat and drink, but receives a hatchet to the head. He comes back into the living room transformed into a similar look that the dark being from before had. He has become hostile and attacks Rina, wielding the axe. Rina tackles him and tries to kick away the hatchet, but the raccoon grabs her leg and tosses her into the wall. The spirit awakens within Rina and her vision becomes shrouded in a bright haze. The spirit aids Rina by attacking the raccoon's mind, causing a struggle with the darkness inside him. Rina takes the opportunity to grab the axe and buries it into the back of the raccoon's neck, killing him instantly. The spirit fades away and Rina is left lamenting over her action. She moves Glade to the bedroom and goes to the telephone to call the cops and warn them, but someone is already on the other line. It warns Rina that they cannot be stopped and that she should not underestimate them. It hangs up and Rina discovers the cord is cut. The house is suddenly hit by an earthquake and the hurricane picks up again. Rina dashes over to the bedroom, throwing herself on Glade and shielding her from the debris. Rina blacks out from the pain.
