See the terror through their eyes.

Synopsis

Sean and his fiancée, Grace, journey into a remote woodland to search for Sean’s missing father, Paul, who disappeared after the tragic death of his youngest daughter, Lilly. Returning to the site of the tragedy, Sean must confront haunting memories and inner demons that begin to manifest in terrifying, tangible ways.

The search uncovers Paul’s dark secret: cloning experiments meant to resurrect Lilly. The forest is now populated with cannibalistic mutant girls - each a clone of Lilly - fighting violently to prove who is the “real” child. Sean and Grace are forced to navigate both grotesque threats and harrowing moral questions about identity, grief, and the boundaries between life and death.
