Kervila, left for dead at the end of The Rest Room, has lost her memory and is in a sanatorium ward for mildly affected people in Clemont, SC where she meets Keri and Ruth. The hospital sends Kervila, and Keri to a set of vacation cabins in Maker's Woods across from some private woodland owned by a young man named Charles whom has recently lost his father. Ruth is released from the hospital and stumbles, through a strange set of coincidences, into Charles and Maker's Woods. The Shadow Group from The Rest Room is still operating in the area and strange events, including a supposed murder in one of the cabins and an explosion, follow. Tom meets Kervila as he tracks the Shadow Group into the forest and she falls in love with him.
