Eighteen-year-old Brady Bennett is haunted by his father’s tragic death. Seven years later, he struggles to move on, torn between being a normal teenager and filling the void his dad left behind. His twin sister Brandi copes through rebellion, her provocative style often drawing the predatory gaze of their stepfather.

Brady's life is complicated, but it's about to get so much worse.

Defending Brandi’s honor, Brady flees into the woods during an altercation with a vengeful classmate. Cornered in a dark cave, he watches in horror as a savage beast emerges from the shadows and tears his tormentor apart.

Fearing implication in the boy’s death, Brady returns to the scene, finding a desperate man in the creature’s place. While sympathetic to the stranger’s plight, a devastating revelation spurs Brady to strike a deal with his captive – one kill in exchange for freedom.

As Brady’s risky plan unfolds, he’ll learn some beasts can’t be controlled – a grisly lesson that could cost him everything.
