Five Michigan State University students – Ash Williams, his girlfriend Linda, his sister Cheryl, their friend Scott, and Scott's girlfriend Shelly – vacation at a remote cabin in the rural hills of Tennessee. Approaching the cabin, the group notices the porch swing move independently, but it stops as Scott grabs the door key.
