A dark, spiritually-grounded horror film that uses Jewish folklore to explore the moral cost of summoning protection against existential threat.

A re-imagining of the old mystical folklore that follows a woman and a tight-knit Jewish community that is besieged by foreign invaders. She conjures a dangerous creature to protect them but it may be more evil than she ever imagined.
