A father and son are relaxing in the woods during a camping trip. The son plays cheerfully, while the stern father watches over him, keeping him from trouble. In the distance, fog gathers, worrying the father. As the mist rolls in, the father calls for his son to return to the campsite, staying near the warm, crackling campfire. Rain pours, and creatures emerge. They come for the child, but the father fends them off. The monsters retreat, and the father and son believe they are safe, but the monsters return, stronger and in greater numbers. With his son captured, the father tries to fight back, wounding some of the beasts. As the mist rolls away, the father and son are gone from the campsite, alluding to their demise.Â
