A found-footage creature feature that builds paranoia and dread through isolation in the wilderness, anchored by a couple's deteriorating dynamic as they search for proof of the unknowable.

Looking to make a splash online with his research videos into the existence of Bigfoot, Jim and his girlfriend Kelly take a camping trip to the small town of Willow Creek, California, and the surrounding mountains where the infamous footage of the supposed sasquatch was filmed.
