17-year-old Eli has just moved with his family deep into the backwoods of Kentucky to work on the isolated farm of the town recluse, Waylon. Inexplicably drawn into the strange forest that lies beyond the farm, Eli encounters Amanda, a beautiful, mysterious girl who captivates him, body and soul. But when Eli discovers decaying bodies hanging from the trees, he realizes that both the forest and Amanda are harboring some very dark secrets. Suddenly, Eli is living in a waking nightmare where the lines between life and death are scrawled in blood, betrayal and terror from beyond the grave.
