The film follows a troubled family (Schneider, Sarafyan, McHugh) who go on vacation to an isolated house in the Louisiana bayou to reconnect as a family.
But when unexpected visitors arrive, their façade of family unity starts to unravel, as terrifying secrets come to light. McHugh plays the teenager who becomes dangerously intrigued by the attention of a handsome, older, local boy.
