A tense sci-fi thriller that weaponizes intimacy and trust, trapping a couple in an isolated wilderness where an alien presence threatens to fundamentally alter their relationship and identities.

Ruth and Harry decide to take a romantic backpacking trip through the Pacific Northwest, but amongst the beautiful scenery, Ruth makes an unexpected discovery that sets her off on a strange, frightening new path. The couple aren't alone in the woods, and they might not be the same when they come out...if they come out.
