A dark possession horror film that weaponizes family bonds and folklore dread, using found footage to amplify paranoia and the violation of a child's body as the central horror.

After a near-death drowning accident, a young boy's family is horrified to discover he has become possessed by a legendary demon from the depths of the lake. As the family races against time to save the boy's soul, the evil monster inside the child tears the family apart as it seeks to destroy everyone in its path.
