Four people, apparently from vastly different walks of life, wake to find themselves in a cottage in the middle of a deep forest. They have been provided with food, clothing and water. They appear unharmed, and free to leave - the doors keeping them in are unlocked. The problem is, none of them have the first clue where they are, or how they got there. What soon becomes clear though, is that they are linked, by an event deep in their collective past. As they are struggling to unravel the mystery of just what has happened to them and why, the scarecrows appear.
