The story : Sister and brother Sally and Franklin are taking a trip with their friends Jerry , Kirk and Pam to their grandfathers' old home.
Neither Sally nor Franklin have been to the house since they were kids but for some fun they have decided to go visit the abandoned property.
When they get close to the house , they stop for gas.
No gas the station owner tells them but the truck could arrive anytime.
While talking to the owner of the station , they are warned to not go to the house but to stay at the station and waste time having some BBQ and wait for the gas truck.
Ignoring the advice , they travel on the the house.
After exploring inside a bit , Kirk and Pam decide to go out in the field looking for the swimming hole Sally and Franklin had spoken of.
Instead what they find is a house which is running a generator which means....gas!
Kirk decides to go inside and that ends up being a bad decision.
Pam follows shortly after looking for Kirk but she doesnt make it back outside.
Next Jerry goes looking for Kirk and Pam...
Getting dark now , Sally and Franklin wait and wait and wait for their friends to return.
