Three sisters retreat to a summer cabin to process shared trauma, but their quiet weekend turns into pure terror when a lone madman comes knocking.

Esther and Cecilie take their youngest sister Kristine to the family’s forest cabin after her latest suicide attempt, hoping to give her space and calm. When news arrives that their mother has died, the fragile balance collapses. Soon, a stranger appears outside the cabin, and the sibling drama spirals into a bloody psychological thriller. Drawing on his horror background (Rovdyr), Patrik Syversen teams up with Elijah Wood’s Spectrevision (Color Out of Space, Rabbit Trap) for an experimental genre hybrid poised between grief drama and serial-killer slasher.
