A creature-horror thriller set in 1970s Oregon that weaves family secrets and inherited dread into a tense encounter with a protective, otherworldly force.

In 1978 Oregon, Ben and Jules inherit an abandoned coastal property from Ben's late mother, who's never mentioned it. The untouched house has been kept a secret for 40 years and comes with a beautiful private cove and beach. Jules searches for answers while Ben unwittingly awakens a fiercely protective creature.
