A claustrophobic psychological thriller built on mutual suspicion and hidden secrets between two isolated men in a remote cabin.

Deep in the woods, a lost hiker stumbles upon the cabin of an erratic and reclusive old man. What starts off as cordial conversation soon turns dangerous as it becomes clear that one or both of them might be hiding a terrifying secret.
