Haunting the woods of Devil’s Den surrounding her childhood home, Mina (Nadia Alexander) has made a reputation in town, scaring all those who have heard of the monster in the woods, keeping them away and ensuring her seclusion and safety. Those who do dare to enter find their fate swiftly sealed, becoming a meal for this flesh-eating monster.
While ransacking the car of her latest victim Josef (Karl Markovics), Mina stumbles on a young boy names Alex (Toby Nichols) whose blatant signs of abuse stop her from making him her second course. Yet, as she struggles with her rage, fighting off her desire to finish Alex off, she finds herself wanting to help the boy rather than harm them.
As they begin their journey through the woods to bring Alex to safety, Mina begins to discover this journey may have more far reaching consequences.
