The third story follows a young woman who uses a mysterious dating app. In the fourth, a group of friends on their way to a cabin stumble upon a sinister occult sect that operates behind a seemingly legitimate business. Finally, a boy who is manipulated by his father into online dating discovers an immense power to defend himself.
