The film begins in the middle of a forest at night. Police officers Morton (Michael Bowen) and Giles (Joshua Cox) are transporting criminal Krug (Garret Dillahunt) to prison. Krug requests for them to stop so that he can piss, but they refuse. The car stops at a railroad crossing while a train passes through. Suddenly, a truck crashes into the car. Two masked people get out of the truck and walk over to the car. These people turn out to be Krugs brother Francis (Aaron Paul) and Krugs girlfriend Sadie (Riki Lindhome). Giles, extremely bloodied, is still alive and so Sadie shoots him in the head. She then frees Krug and kisses him. Krug asks Francis about his son, and he says that hes okay. Morton is also still alive, though badly injured. Krug strangles him with his seatbelt and they all wonder what Mortons thinking about as hes dying. Francis steals Mortons money, though some blood drips on it. Krug gets Mortons picture of his two little daughters and says that Morton is thinking about what hell never see again. Krug finishes Morton off.
Elsewhere, Mari Collingwood (Sara Paxton) is swimming in a pool as her mother Emma (Monica Potter) watches. After Maris swim, she asks her mother what her time was. Emma says that it doesnt matter, and says that they should start their vacation. Emma picks up her husband, Dr. John Collingwood (Tony Goldwyn), at a hospital after hes through with performing a surgery. The Collingwoods drive to the forest to spend their vacation at their summer house. Mari, driving, comes to a fork in the road that has a Lake Ends In The Road sign. She turns left and remarks how ridiculous the sign is. The family arrives at the house and starts to unpack their belongings. Mari chooses to stay in the guesthouse, which is a little walk away from the house. It turns out that Mari had an older brother named Ben that died last year. Its clear that the parents have still not gotten over his death. Mari goes to the boathouse and goes for a quick swim. She then gets dressed and wears a necklace that Ben gave her. Emmas brother, who recently stayed in the house, has left Emma and John a bottle of wine as a token of appreciation. While John tries to fix the broken microwave, Mari asks her parents if she can borrow the car. She wants to go into town to visit her friend Paige. Emma thought that they could enjoy a nice family meal together, though John gives Mari the keys and a wad of cash to have fun in town. The only thing Emma asks is for Mari to call her when she gets to town. John and Emma plan on having a nice quiet romantic dinner together.
