There were these teenagers, camping near the abandoned Camp Crystal lake, Wade, Bill, Whitney and Laura. they weren't there to check out Camp Crystal Lake... but.. Wade was keen. they were there to collect a certain plant.., Wade sits down next to Laura.

WADE: "you guys heard of Jason? The kid who apparently drowned in Camp Crystal lake, North-West from here? That's why it shut down, somehow.. you guys wanna check it out?"
