A claustrophobic cult-horror thriller that traps its protagonists in an isolated compound ruled by an enigmatic preacher, building paranoia and dread through ambiguous supernatural threat.

Tim and Allie seek shelter in a remote desert compound after becoming lost and stranded. A strange Manson-like character, Preacher, reluctantly allows them inside with strict orders to be gone by morning and not wander "where you are not invited."
