Experiencing Interruptions?

By The Campfire

As Cooper recalls a story from his past, we dwell deep inside his mind, where we find a group of kids on a camping adventure. As the kids become victims to a series of unexplained events, it becomes difficult to distinguish Cooper's reality from fiction.
