In the four and a half minute movie directed by Nia DaCosta, Connor Storie appears alone in a cabin.

All of this is complemented by loud thundering and a weird absence of lights (just switch on more lights in your house if you are so scared, my dude).
Connor feels he is being stalked, with an unknown number texting him that he’s coming for him. Connor opens the door, knife in his hand…only to find a rideshare driver coming to pick him up.
