Kariwase and Arvyndas are Search and Rescue volunteers, tasked with finding a lost couple in the Colorado wilderness. On the way, Arvyndas becomes possessed by a dark spirit, attempts to kill Kariwase, and succeeds in killing the missing boyfriend, Dylan. This is because Dylan has killed his girlfriend, Courtney. Kariwase eventually finds this out when a new spirit possesses Arvyndas, and reveals this to her by placing the bloody rock and Courtney's hair in Dylan's hands.
