Brian contacts a forum, convinced that it’s the start of a pandemic. The moderator tells them to meet him at a secluded location. Brian contacts Michelle and Olivia but Michelle refuses to leave. Olivia sneaks out of the house and they depart. They arrive at a forrest and meet Matt, the forum moderator and three others, Paul, Kristen and Martin. At first it’s like a holiday until Matt discovers that they still have their phones and orders them to be destroyed. Olivia confesses to Brian that mementos of her loved ones were on her phone. Brian empathises but still thinks it was the right decision. Over time the campers run low on food. Paul suggests visiting a nearby town but Matt fears it will expose them. Paul attempts to leave but is struck by Matt and dies. After burying Paul, Matt tells Brian to keep watch overnight. Brian lets the campers escape. Kristen pleads for Brian and Olivia to leave but Brian says he can’t. Eventually Olivia loses patience with Brian and questions if there is a pandemic. Olivia runs away from camp but spots a police search and returns. Olivia tells Brian that they have to leave and they try to sneak out of camp. Matt catches them as they flee into the forest. Matt tackles Brian but Brian overpowers him and leaves Matt sobbing on the ground. Brian and Olivia arrive at their car where the police are waiting. Brian watches on as Olivia is taken away.
