A mother and daughter break down on a deserted road in the disorientating utter darkness of a black forest. Trapped and tormented by a creature unlike anything they have seen or heard before. Not human. Not animal. Their relationship at breaking point, the 10-year-old Lizzy is all out of faith in her mother Kathy but tries to stay brave and fearless. Kathy, on the edge, barely keeping it together, knows that only a mother’s protective love, her most primal instinct, can save her daughter from what’s lurking in the darkness.
