When Sam takes his ex-stepdaughter Flo on a treasure hunt in the woods, he hopes to rebuild their lost bond. And then they unearth a series of mysterious letters.

When Sam takes his ex-stepdaughter Flo on a treasure hunt in the woods, he hopes to rebuild their lost bond. But the discovery of a bizarre series of love letters throws disturbing light on Flo's current romantic relationship.
