A violent animal attack rattles the tight-knit community of Spiral Creek, where fear ripples faster than the facts. As whispers of a predatory force spread, neighbors turn suspicious and the town’s fragile routines unravel. With the landscape itself feeling infected by dread, the line between rumor and reality grows disturbingly thin.
Deputy Ren Accord, driven and haunted, pushes past the town’s self-preservation to find answers — but when his son disappears, his search becomes a descent. Partnering with Alma, a woman whose secrets are as deep as the woods, he confronts a truth that fractures perception and forces everyone to decide what they are willing to believe to survive. Tense and atmospheric, the film weaves grief, paranoia, and uncanny menace into a chilling meditation on what’s lost when you start looking for monsters.
