Aastal 1960 sai Espoo lähedal Bodomi järve lõkkeplatsil teoks iga matkaja õudseim fantaasia – une pealt pussitati telgis surnuks kolm teismelist. Tänaseks on sellest juhtumist saanud Soome vaieldamatult kurikuulsaim lahendamata mõrvamüsteerium, mis on põlvest põlve edasi räägituna omandanud kõhedusttekitava legendi mõõtmed. Aastakümneid hiljem lähevad neli noorukit telkima Bodomi järve äärde samale kurikuulsale lõkkeplatsile. Kahe paarikese eesmärk on lõplikult lahendada poolsada aastat kogu riiki vapustanud kuritöö, üritades sündmustikku minuti täpsusega taaslavastada. Pimeduse saabudes muutub aga mäng hoopis tõsisemaks, kui keegi oleks soovinud.
