1950: Jenny and Eddie sit in the car in a clearing and kiss. You hear on the radio that some crazy psychopath is supposed to do mischief very close to them. Jenny starts to panic. When she thinks she has seen someone in the woods, she tries to convince Eddie to go back to town. On the way back you pass a drive-in. Eddie orders a milkshake. When he returns to his car, he sees a hook hanging on the passenger door.

Today: Cliff, his girlfriend Lauren, their little brother Eric and girlfriend Alex are on their way home from a concert. At the wheel, Cliff, who is already a little drunk. He has an accident and the car is broken. In the middle of the forest, the four friends set up a campfire and tell each other stories while they wait for help.

The first story is about the young couple Rick and Valerie who are traveling with their caravan. The motorhome suddenly stops in a remote forest. The young man wants to get help and tries to reach a gas station. He leaves his girlfriend in the motor home. This is attacked by an unknown being. When the attack seems to be over, she suddenly hears scratching noises on the car roof. It's about her slashed friend, who is hanging from a tree and dangling back and forth on the roof of the car.

The second episode tells the story of twelve-year-old Amanda, who meets twelve-year-old Jessica via an internet chat room. Jessica is a perverted child killer, though. The parents go out one evening. Amanda is home alone. She has the feeling that she is not alone in the house. She puts her hand under the bed to grab her dog. Her hand is licked. In a mirror, Amanda sees the saying “people can also lick”. She then sees that it is not her dog but the perverted child killer who is lying under her bed and licking her hand. She runs out of the room screaming and calls for her big sister. Amanda's sister Katherine enters the room and sees Amanda's dead dog under the bed.

In the third story, Scott, who is traveling on his motorcycle, seeks shelter in an old farmhouse. The house is inhabited by the beautiful but silent Heather. She communicates with Scott by writing everything down and asks him to stay here for the night. Heather's father comes back in the middle of the night. Scott hears noises and finds two bodies in the kitchen. Heather writes on the clipboard that there are ghosts in the house. Suddenly, Heather's father attacks Scott with an ax. Heather and Scott can finally escape and flee by motorcycle. After a while the two find their peace under a tree. The next morning, Scott opens a necklace on Heather's neck and sees an old photo of Heather and himself. When Heather wakes up, a trail of blood forms around her neck and her head falls off.

After the stories are told, the group decides to return to the street. There, Cliff, Lauren, Eric and Alex find their own bodies.
