The trailer begins with a happy family of three making their way to a cabin in the middle of the woods for a vacation. They are here to have fun as they sometimes play in a nearby lake or relax at their cabin deck.

As their daughter, Wen, spends her time scribbling in her little notebook, a man suddenly appears at a distance and starts to approach her. The scene then shifts to inside the cabin when her two dads are surprised by the sudden knocking that they hear at the door.

The man introduces himself as Leonard to Wen and when she asks his reason to be there, he tells her that he is supposed to make friends with her and her dads. However, he is heartbroken because of what he is going to be doing today.

Once again, the scene shifts back to inside the cabin where the fathers are checking on who is knocking at the door through the window. Upon seeing that there is a woman who is carrying some sort of weapon, they get anxious and start to think of ways to defend themselves.

Leonard’s voice is heard in the back as Wen seems to be making her way back inside the cabin. As he tries to tell her that they have an important job to do which might in fact be the most important job in the history of the world.

As the knocks turn to bangs on the door, the fathers are quick on their feet to secure the door and get hold of something to fight. They can see an impending danger and cannot help but be worried for their family. However, it is all for nought as the intruders soon make their way inside.

Leonard then tells them of their mission that they cannot ignore and tells them that he along with his three companions are here to prevent the apocalypse. This family has been chosen to make a horrible decision and if they fail to choose then the world will come to an end.
