FADE IN


EXT - WOODS - DAY


​Cool. Crisp. Clear. Final rays of a crimson sun gently recede from the golden valley below, as an anxious autumn moon peeks over the Black Hatchet Mountains east of Albuquerque.


Darkness settles faster than expected on ALAN WALKER and his two sons - MATT (15) and HENRY (8) - who make their way through the giant maze of trees with flashlights, fishing gear and a string of trout, trying to find their way back to camp.


MATT

Told ya we shoulda turned at the logpile.


ALAN

Hey, one more hill and we're there.


MATT

Sure thing, Helen Keller.


HENRY

Who's Helen Keller?


MATT

Somebody who can get us back to

camp faster than dad.


ALAN

Here we go...


​They come around a boulder, but abruptly stop.


EXT - CAMPSITE - NIGHT


​...but abruptly stop. Alan and Matt stare in in silence at the small flames ahead, while Henrey catches up.


​HENRY

Hey, who lit the campfire?


ALAN

Good question.


Alan slowly approaches, keeping the boys safely behind. He sees a STRANGER sitting on a stump near the blaze.


ALAN

Evening.
