Helen Mallory has spent years building a quiet life for her daughter Ellie and her elderly mother in an isolated farmhouse far from the rest of the world. Hidden behind locked doors and rigid routines, the house is the only place that has ever felt safe.
Until the storm brings strangers to her door.
Simon, Marek, and Damien claim they're stranded travelers desperate for shelter after their car breaks down in the middle of the night. Against her better judgment, Helen lets them inside.
But the men settle in too easily.
They ask too many questions. They watch Ellie too closely. And beneath their polite smiles, Helen senses something hungry lurking underneath.
As the storm traps them together inside the farmhouse, Helen becomes certain the men were never lost at all.
They came for her daughter.
With no way to escape and no one coming to help, Helen will do anything to protect her child, even if it means unleashing the violence she thought she buried long ago.
A slow-burn psychological thriller filled with paranoia, isolation, and creeping dread, where nothing inside the farmhouse is as it seems.
