Spoilers ahead
On his family’s lakeside lodge in northern Wisconsin, six-year-old Peter van Cleese witnesses a chilling event: his grandfather appears to be overtaken by a supernatural force as a reel-to-reel tape crackles and the man slips from the dock into the water, never to be recovered.
Seventeen years later, [Peter van Cleese] is a recent graduate who returns to the lodge with a close-knit group of friends — Ann Colbert, Kiersten Knudsen, Rodney, and Tom “Finner” Finnegan Finner — for a first visit since the disappearance. They are greeted by the wary local manager Wayne Duerst and his paranoid Vietnam veteran neighbor Evelyn Duerst, whose hostility foreshadows trouble to come as the town ramps up for its annual muskellunge fishing festival, “Muskie Madness.”
