A young woman goes on vacation alone in the English countryside after the death of her husband. While someone, or something, in the surrounding woods seems to be haunting her, she makes the acquaintance of Geoffrey, the eccentric landlord, and later a series of individuals of increasing and disturbing bizarreness. A disturbing and enigmatic work from the director of Ex Machina and Annihilation.
