In the isolated beauty of the Irish south coast, Jen’s ordered life as a conservation ranger is disrupted when Oscar, a boyfriend from her distant past, returns. His arrival stirs long buried memories, forcing her to confront a shared tragedy. As the woods around her fall prey to a faceless threat, Jen is caught between the pull of the past and the dangers of the present.
