The story
Americans Doug and Helen Stilwin and their young son, Bobby, embark on a vacation driving across the border into desolate Baja California in Mexico to a remote fishing spot along the coast that Doug used to frequent with his old military buddies. Upon arrival at the remote beach, young Bobby goes exploring out onto a precarious, rotting pier, high above the water. His foot gets stuck in a crack between boards.
