The story centers around Naomi, a quirky and ambitious travel blogger in her early thirties, and Marcus, a charming yet somewhat indecisive graphic designer. They meet on a popular dating app and quickly hit it off, leading to what they both anticipate will be a romantic weekend trip to a picturesque cabin in the woods.

What begins as a promising adventure takes a bizarre turn when a freak storm rolls in, leaving them stranded without power or cell service.
