This strain in their relationship serves as the weakness that the antagonists exploit, which ultimately becomes the film’s core theme: the battle to save a relationship, both in metaphorical and literal terms. The plot kicks further with the arrival of Will and Cin, another couple who also claim to have booked the property. As the two couples cohabitate within the property, things rapidly devolve into a nightmare maze of desire, deception, and psychological manipulation.

The ending of Bone Lake reveals Will and Cin as the incestuous twins and serial killers who specifically target couples, driven by a perverse desire to prove that only their own deeply bizarre connection is true, viewing all other relationships as lies ready to be destroyed. It is further shown that they keep an eye on their victims using hidden cameras. Their twisted ideology even made them kill their parents when they beat them for the incest.

They also pit Sage and Diego against each other by preying on their insecurities and exposing their lack of genuine communication. Faced with certain death, the couple finally resolves their relationship issues by communicating honestly about their feelings and fears. In the final act, they fake a huge fight to lure their captors into a trap to confront them.
