Matt, Marge, Benny and Nick plan a trip to experience some white water rafting. On the way there the car develops a fault and they have to limp there way to a nearby small town, Bent Copper, Colorado. They find a garage, with an extremely helpful attendant/mechanic, and while waiting for his diagnosis take a look around the place. Their first impressions are that something is wrong here. They are not sure what, or even why they have this feeling, but they trust their instincts and decide to investigate.
