Chapter 2 deals with the mystery of a man gone missing, and presumed dead.

Chapter 3 is a very short story about a couple in the mountains who pick up a strange guest.

Chapter 4 is a longer story about the traditions binding a family, those that would break away from them, and the dark secret that holds the family in sway.
