Plot summary
Five friends meet in a pub to plan a holiday. Rob proposes hiking in Sweden and the others turn him down, so he and Luke go out to buy alcohol and walk into a robbery that turns violent; Rob is killed while Luke hides. Six months later the four survivors walk the Kungsleden trail in northern Sweden in Rob's memory. Dom injures his knee, and rather than keep to the marked route the group cuts through the forest, where they find a gutted and hanged moose and runic markings carved into the trees. A rainstorm drives them into an abandoned cabin, where they find necklaces marked with similar symbols and a twig effigy with antlers for hands.
