Something was closer than the fire

On the 4th of July, four friends embark on a journey to a secluded Oregon cabin for fireworks, fun, and freedom. But as night falls and the sky erupts in color, something in the woods begins to stir. Tall, pale figures. Whispered voices. A smile caught on a trail cam that shouldn't have been there. This holiday wasn’t just about celebration… it was about survival. Some traditions never die—but some are waiting to be born in the dark.
