It takes Abigail Hobbs' dead father to wake her up. In a coma after Garret Jacob Hobbs cut her throat, Abigail jolts back to life through a half-dream, half-memory sequence in which her father guides her through her first kill. It's a deer, not a human, but dear old Dad is still clearly feeling out how his daughter feels about taking life under his philosophy, which includes a promise to "honor every part" of the deer, from the hide to the bones to, of course, the meat.
