After the disappearance of their eight-year-old daughter, Ben and Sofia return to the location where they lost her two years ago. When Sofia befriends a young woman on the beach, it becomes clear that their intentions are much more malicious and complex than friendship. As more girls are dragged into their prostitution ring, Ben becomes entranced with Amanda, a woman with the mental capacity of an eight-year-old that reminds him of his missing daughter, Mia. While Sofia has other plans for her, Ben acts as a protector until Amanda's parents show up to forcefully take her back and break up the couple's lucrative business.
Reyna Young wrote, directed and co-stars in this anthology horror film influenced by Creepshow and Tales from the Crypt. Kelsey Zukowski and Connie Jo Sechrist also star in this collection of spooky tales about ghosts, serial killers and more.
The film explores the complexities and many paradoxes found within the frustrations, beauty and bewilderment of life. The story is a gradually unfolding spiritual crisis, juxtaposed through two central characters: a young child, full of curiosity and wonderment, and a hard-working, 32 year-old butcher struggling to begin his own family life. It ultimately exposes the harsh social difficulties in sustaining a modest, middle-class life within the contemporary American culture of systemic decay.
