But, when the guests arrive, Werner is missing and his dog is found dead at a pond nearby. It's not long before they begin to ponder the old legend that's associated with the place: a man is said to have killed his sister and her lover and then drowned himself in the lake. It is said that anyone who stays in the house - the murderer's cabin - would be possessed by a strange attraction: They would be forced to drown themselves in the pond. The company decides to solve the mystery, but soon, it appears that they are exposed to the mysterious, fascinating powers that are tied to the lake.
