Ari Davis, an athletic gymnast, is going to Camp Full Moon. On the bus ride to camp, he befriends Dustin Minium. Ari loves practical jokes; he suggests that he and Dustin trade names at camp as a prank.

When the boys arrive at camp, Dustin (pretending to be Ari) gets put in the best bunk, and Ari (pretending to be Dustin) gets put in the worst bunk. That night, Ari wants to switch back, but Dustin says he wants to keep up the act.

When Dustin finds out that "Ari" has been volunteered to face off against the Snatcher, a deadly creature that lives in the woods, he tries to trade places back with Ari, but Ari refuses to reveal his true identity.

Ari goes to great lengths to avoid having his true identity revealed. When Logan, Dustin's younger brother, arrives at camp, Ari talks to him. Ari threatens to hurt Logan if he reveals Dustin's true identity.
