The film deals with a documentary film-maker named David Leigh, and his investigation of the Fact or Fiction murders.

In this case, a pair of cable TV hosts of public-access television were murdered in mysterious circumstances.

(Although it was initially a success, Leigh's later investigations find that the show is failing and is threatened with imminent cancellation.)

A caller suggests the team search for the Jersey Devil, a mythic figure associated with the Pine Barrens.

Avkast and Wheeler recruit Rein Clackin, a sound-man who allegedly can record the paranormal, and Jim Suerd, a psychic.

During his murder trial, testimony shows that Avkast could not have survived, given the loss of blood found at the crime scene.

The prosecution has bolstered their case by the work of a video engineer (nicknamed "The Killer Cutter"), who compiles a documentary of the group's trip, using the surviving film footage found at the crime scene.

Leigh receives a box containing a damaged videotape reel, which he at first assumes is tape from the Fact or Fiction team, although none was believed to exist.

[8] Steven Rea and Desmond Ryan of The Philadelphia Inquirer deemed the film "startlingly good" and a "smart, assured work.

"[5] Dave Jewett of The Columbian praised the film for its "innovative, low-cost techniques" and its "chilling climax", though he did criticize it for suffering some pacing issues.
