A harrowing, symbolism-laden descent into psychological and physical torment that uses grief, guilt, and nature as instruments of existential horror.

A grieving couple retreats to their cabin 'Eden' in the woods, hoping to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse.
