Camp Stillwater is about to reopen after being closed down for years. Deb, the new owner, has thrown her heart, soul and life savings into renovating the camp she loved as a child. She isn't the only one excited to return as six former campers - Alex, Jessie, Cricket, Joel, Blair and Blotter join her as counselors hoping to experience the freedom that camp brings now that they are older. Not part of the old crew, Amy is not just new to Camp Stillwater, but to camp in general. While Amy tries her best to fit in with the already tight group, Drew is content to be left alone. As everyone settles in and prepares for the campers' arrival, Amy is the first to get a feeling that something is not right with this idyllic summer camp.

The campers arrive at Camp Stillwater. Meanwhile, Alex and Blotter grow curious about the woods when one shy kid who wanders around talking to himself begins communicating cryptic messages and telling them about "the Tall Man."

Cricket flirts with Damon to incite jealousy in Alex, but Damon pushes the envelope, and he and Alex get into a physical altercation.
