At the edge of the Washington woods, in a house hidden from the world, lives a strange family of three. A teenage girl who isn’t allowed outside, haunted by her last attempt to leave. A man who tries to drown out his fractured memory with television and alcohol. And a house cat that spends its days napping and reading the Bible.
Their quiet, eerie existence is held together by a dark secret buried deep in the woods. But when a new neighbor moves in, the carefully constructed life they’ve built begins to unravel.
As the past resurfaces, the family must confront the truth they’ve long hidden. Will what lies beneath the birch trees destroy them, or will they find a way to survive their haunting secret?
