She's battling artist's block ahead of a major gallery exhibition. Staying at the lake house is her final, desperate attempt to paint the collection that could save her floundering career. It seems perfect: no neighbors, no phone, no distractions.
But the dream retreat disintegrates into a nightmare when Sam sees a stranger by the lake.

Soon Sam suspects he's responsible for the series of disappearances from a nearby hiking trail.
Completely stranded, Sam realizes she's become the prey in the hunter's deadliest game…
