Plot summary
Kris, Colt, Troy, Evan, Ehren, Brodie, and Aurora are camping in the Ontario wilderness. The friends come upon a fire tower's ruins, where a locket still hangs, and Troy puts it in his pocket. That act wakes a buried killer named Johnny, who leaves his grave and moves through the trees hunting for the locket. Gunfire the group sets off draws him toward their campfire. There, Ehren tells them the legend of Johnny, a merchant's son with a developmental delay who fell to his death from the tower decades ago in a prank that went wrong, and whose spirit was blamed for later killings.
