There are several main characters in this film which are as follows:

EMILY: Emily is the ghost and murderer of this film. Her past is revealed throughout the film which consists of sexual assault and domestic violence from her father. This consequently leads to her graphic murder in 1972 at Lake depicted in her memories shown throughout the film. For the three decades that have passed, blood-thirsty Emily seeks revenge on all men who visit the lake for the awful treatment she had received from a young age up to her nineteenth birthday.

RYAN LUCAS: A detective trying to solve the mystery of the forest murders yet struggles to find any evidence, pushing aside any accusations of a ghost in disbelief. However, this soon changes when he is confronted by Emily who aims to give him the same fate as the other men have shared. A twist at the end displays the genetic link between the two, Ryan being Emily and her father's son who she had to give up for adoption at the age of seventeen.

ALEX: Ryan's wife is killed by Emily when attempting to protect her husband at the lake after the revelation of Emily's young son (at this time it is unknown that it is Ryan) being born.
