Synopsis:
Wrongly imprisoned for his mother’s murder, Niall is released after years behind bars. Having found God and renounced a life of violence and addiction, he retreats to a remote woodland cabin seeking redemption and the truth behind her death. Instead, he finds a hostile community ruled by a ruthless family, where every encounter deepens the mystery surrounding his mother’s past.
As brutal violence erupts and terrifying visions blur the line between nightmare and reality, Niall uncovers a sinister legacy of witchcraft, blood sacrifice and forbidden ritual. Drawn into an occult conspiracy decades in the making, he discovers his release was no coincidence. Something has been patiently waiting in the forest, and its hunger for vengeance can only be satisfied with blood.
