Rather than an audition, teenagers Rachel, Liz, and Clarence drag a blindfolded Maddie through the woods with the intention of initiating her into their small-time garage band. Armed with a crossbow, they decide to leave it up to the gods of metal - if the arrow misses her, she's in; if it doesn't miss, so be it. After spooking Maddie with stories of a demon that lives in a nearby factory, she retorts with a ghost story of her own. Her initiation, however, is interrupted when the arrow strikes something in the sky, conjuring up a dilemma that is only solved through a strange ceremony in the woods.
