A found-footage horror film centered on a satanic cult mystery that uses paranoia, spiritual dread, and ambiguous resolution to unsettle rather than clarify.

In Spring 2020 when five students and two faculty members from the Mid Ulster College of Art go missing in a forest on the north coast of Ireland. What happened on the day they disappeared has remained a mystery - until now.
