In tonight’s take we follow Evan, an insecure young man who joins his brother and a group of friends on a backpacking trip through a remote wilderness. What begins as an ordinary hike quickly descends into a nightmare when the group encounters grotesque creatures capable of perfectly mimicking human appearance… and, even more horrifyingly, implanting false memories that make the impostors seem like lifelong friends or loved ones.

As the hikers become exhausted, dehydrated, and lost, they can no longer trust their own minds, each other, or even their memories. Forced to make impossible decisions while being stalked by these shape-shifting predators, Evan watches his group unravel as paranoia and terror take hold...
