Synopsis

A family seems to be protected in an isolated home apart from the world, since an evil and mysterious presence stalks them behind the shadows in the outside. However, the inestable security in the loneliness of their home is threatened with the arrival of a new family desperately asking for refuge. Despite the efforts of both families for achieving a good coexistence, suspicion and paranoia will reign in the house, while in the outside the terrors of the night lay in wait closer than ever. This tension will awake an unknown monster inside the father of the family, who will do whatever it takes in order to protect his wife and his son, facing the high price that he will have to asume as a consequence: the loss of his soul.
