A mother and son travel to a dilapidated cabin in the woods that haunts more than just her memories.

​

Nell Marin swore she would never return to the place where part of her died.

The passing of her estranged father, however, leaves her with no choice but to drag her teenage son, Oscar, back to the run-down family cabin on Torchlight Lake, where horrific memories linger. The two will fix the place up, sell it, and ensure Nell never has to return to that dreaded lake again.

But when the roads—which pass through Native land—are barricaded by the local Tribe, the quick trip turns into weeks. Oscar, a horror movie buff, knows this is exactly how it starts. As the long summer days drag on, unsettling things begin to occur: screams ring out over the water, and a mysterious figure watches the cabin from the trees at night. Most disturbing of all, Nell is becoming less and less herself.

As the strange events lead Oscar to uncover the secrets his mother has shielded him from, he's forced to confront a reality that's far more frightening than movie monsters. He must uncover answers to the questions that stole so much from his mother…before the horror that traumatized Nell drags him under as well.
