A brother and sister Chris and Aurora head to their families cabin to visit with their recovering alcoholic father and his wife. When they arrive the tension is thick and the situation seems pretty awkward. But they all start to thaw some and chilllax a little. 

Sitting around a bonfire the broken family try to silently forgive each other for all of the pasts mistakes. Aurora takes the dog off thru the woods to go to the bathroom and she gets loose. They all search for her and find the poor dog bloody and dying.  

Back at the cabin their father decides that the humane thing is to shoot the dog and put it out of it's misery. the next thing you know a blood stained man opens the door and falls inside passing out cold. When he wakes up he explains that he was camping with his girl and this thing came and killed her. Did it, or did he do it?

These folks don't know what to believe until they hear an odd monstrous screaming outside and really start to question if perhaps the man is telling the truth. Do these people have a chance at survival or will this thing get them all? Or is there even a thing out there waiting?
