Angela Baker (Felissa Rose) è una ragazzina di 13 anni in vacanza in un camping estivo col cuginetto. I due sono oggetto degli scherzi, talvolta anche pesanti, degli altri ragazzi del campeggi: in particolare Angela è la vittima preferita e si dimostra incapace di reagire. Per di più Angela è una ragazzina molto taciturna e porta dentro di sé il trauma infantile della prematura scomparsa del padre. Un susseguirsi di strani e crudeli delitti ha per oggetto gli avventori del campeggio. I sospetti si indirizzano subito proprio su Angela Baker, ma la ragazzina nasconde uno scioccante segreto.
