The story opens with an unnamed narrator who is presumably on the run for something. He's come to a cabin in the woods to assume another person's identity.

Gruesome evidence found in the cabin only incriminates the narrator further.
This was really hard to follow at times, because the story flips backwards and forwards in time. It's also very twisty-turny, with reveals that are hard to comprehend, or hard to understand until a few chapters later.
