|---|
"Bobby and Susan Martin's saga began when a screaming boy ran out of the woods in the dead of night near their campsight. Sensing danger, they try to flee with the frightened dirty child. The kidnapper, however, was right on the heels of the child and agressively confronted Bobby. Fighting for his life, he killed what he later learned was a police officer. Dubbing himself a cop killer, he and his wife escape with the boy but fear what to do next. The Martin's has many questions that will soon be answered. Surviving the next few nights as they learn the answers to those questions depends on the decision they will make about 'what to do next'."
