The video begins with a quick prompt informing viewers that the following film is based off of actual events. Shortly after the viewer sees the black on white text that in 2010, a group of students went into the woods, although not yet stating why. The friends have been missing up until a year later when their camera was recovered. The boys have not been seen since. The intro states the boys names are Kenneth Collins, Eric Goessans, and Logan Podpora. The video starts with the group in a car, talking and messing with a camera. One of the unnamed men is talking about how they are going into a dense forest by themselves with no communication in order to prove how amazing they are. The main cameraman identifies himself at this point as Ken. They hold a conversation about not inviting a guy named "Andrew" and instead invited his brother Logan, complain about the focus on the camera, and buy gear at a dollar store.
