One weekend, you and your friend Jayme decide to make a trip out to the island. Her anxieties about the weather grow more realistic and you lose control of the Zodiac, your boat-leaving you stranded in the middle of the enormous lake! Your difficult trek to the island are only the beginning of your adventures. The storm has brought a lot of strange things with it- the moment you step ashore you and Jayme feel it. You don't know how, but you are certain the island has taken you back in time.
