between dead trees — Matt Shaw

When Steve Chappo keeps having bad dreams and bouts of terrifying sleep paralysis, his wife - Beth - decides enough is enough and decides to take him away from the stresses of life with a surprise weekend of camping. With a want to get away from everything, she doesn't want to go to a busy campsite but rather go and stay somewhere more remote, where it would just be the two of them. Her hope being that a weekend of romantic walks, snuggling together in their tent and outdoor cooking on the campfire will help his tired brain and finally allow him the opportunity to rest and relax. With work mounting and pressure from the big bosses, Steve isn't exactly keen to just drop everything and disappear into the wilderness. There's a worry that he won't be able to switch off properly and he'd only be putting himself further behind at work but - when the ghosts that haunt both his dreams and waking hours get louder and closer - he realises a break away from everything could be exactly what is needed and soon the two of them are headed off to the countryside for what they hope to be a peaceful weekend. Once the tent is erected and the fire is roaring, they think they have found the perfect, romantic spot for their weekend. Little do they know, they're not quite as alone as they'd originally thought. They're being watched. They're being hunted.
