A paranoid, atmospheric horror-thriller about a couple systematically isolated and hunted in a remote forest, where nothing feels accidental and escape seems impossible.

Driving back to Norway, Lina and Martin reach a roadblock where a policeman tells them to take a detour deep into the Swedish forest. But soon one creepy incident after another leaves them stranded in the dark woods and everything seems much too bizarre to be accidental.
