All Frances wants is to start a new life with her new partner in the dreamy Pacific Northwest.

To get there, she’s forced to join a “bro’s trip” with her brother, Charlie, and his annoying best friend, Trent. But their journey is abruptly altered when a wrong turn forces the trio to spend the night in the rain-soaked Oregon woods.
