When she sees nothing she closes the door only to turn around to see a woman dressed in white holding a teddy bear. Cassie is drugged and kidnapped. When she wakes up she is in a dark basement. She screams for help for two days, but no one comes. Finally 2 days later the police arrive arrest the woman and free Cassie. The movie then flicks to 20 years later, Cassie is now attending graduate school. When she fails to hand in her thesis on time, her professor warns her she only has a month to finish it, so she takes a job as a fire look-out, a job she hopes will give her nothing else to do except finish the thesis. However, the isolation preys on her and when she discovers that her only human contact, a voice on the radio, is apparently a dead girl, she wants out.
