A dark supernatural drama about an undead girl's fractured humanity rekindled through an unexpected bond with an abused boy, exploring trauma, redemption, and the remnants of compassion in the monstrous.

A murderous, flesh-eating undead young girl haunting the remote stretch of woods where she was murdered decades earlier, discovers a kidnapped and abused boy hiding in the trunk of one of her victim’s cars. Her decision to let the boy live throws her aggressively solitary existence into upheaval, and ultimately forces her to re-examine just how much of her humanity her murderer was able to destroy.
