Josh is very secretive about his plan, insisting Sam simply 'trust' him. Against his better judgment, Sam agrees to go, but becomes increasingly anxious as the evening unfolds. What he discovers at their final destination terrifies him. Sam is confronted with a choice from which, once made, there is no return but what happens, will unexpectedly change his life forever.
