In the heart of Green Swamp, North Carolina, a tranquil community is shattered when a young boy falls victim to a chilling animal attack during a popular haunted hayride. The relief that follows the euthanization of the suspected bear is short-lived as Northern Eason, the daughter of local farmer Ray Eason, vanishes alongside four hunters on an ill-fated camping expedition.

As a rare and lethal winter storm descends upon the coastal region, tensions soar, and the impending danger becomes palpable. Amidst the chaos, only one individual senses the looming threat: Jason Elliot, a twelve-year-old grappling with the aftermath of profound trauma and harboring a deeply guarded secret-one that could hold the key to deciphering the sinister events unfolding in Green Swamp.

With darkness descending and snow blanketing the landscape, the community finds itself in a desperate struggle against an ancient evil hell-bent on retribution for long-forgotten transgressions. As the lines between reality and nightmare blur, the fate of Green Swamp hangs precariously in the balance, and no one is beyond the reach of a malevolent force seeking vengeance.
