SYNOPSIS:

Synopsis:

On a chilling night, mother-daughter duo Sasha and Megan arrive at a desolate gas station, shrouded in eerie silence and flickering lights. What should have been a quick stop turns harrowing as they uncover human remains, only to be confronted by two menacing strangers, Graham and Marcus, whose behavior hints at something sinister. When Sasha shows them a photo, a strange tension builds. Suddenly, sensing a dark threat, Sasha transforms into a terrifying creature, unleashing lethal force upon the men to protect herself and Megan. As the carnage unfolds, Megan remains calm, her expression revealing a quiet acceptance of her mother’s supernatural abilities.

Three Months Earlier In a remote forest, Sasha and Megan seek guidance from Aiyana, a wise elder who reveals the true purpose of their journey: they must find and destroy the “source” of a spreading infection corrupting everything in its path. With newfound resolve, they embark on their mission. But when their van breaks down on a quiet back road, a local farmer and tow truck driver named Jim Dentin offers assistance. Sasha, initially hesitant, allows Jim to help, encouraged by Megan’s practicality and trust in his kindness.

Jim invites them to stay the night at his farmhouse, where Sasha and Megan meet his daughter, Billy Jane, a spirited young woman who immediately bonds with Megan. As they sit around the dinner table, Jim shares tales of his late wife’s tragic horseback riding accident. But his demeanor shifts when he warns them of Utica, a nearby town plagued by strange occurrences and danger.

As Night Falls Unable to sleep, Sasha overhears a heated argument between Jim and Billy Jane, stoking her suspicions about their hosts. The next day, Billy Jane and Megan share a tender moment while fishing by a lake, their bond sealed with a kiss. Their peace is shattered when they spot ominous smoke signals in the distance. Drawn to an old church, they are ambushed by a group of ravenous creatures. The encounter leaves them shaken, barely escaping with their lives, and they return to the farmhouse, where safety feels increasingly fragile.

Unveiling Secrets Later, Sasha witnesses Megan chasing after Billy Jane and Jim. In a shocking twist, Billy Jane has unlocked a cellar to release her own transformed mother, Lilith, who bursts forth with monstrous fury. In the chaos, Lilith kills her own daughter and Jim, in a desperate attempt to intervene, is mortally wounded. Sasha is forced to embrace her terrifying creature form once more to protect Megan, battling Lilith in a ferocious showdown. After the fight, Jim, lying on his deathbed, reveals the tragic truth—his wife was bitten weeks ago, her infection concealed in shame.

With heavy hearts, Sasha and Megan bury the fallen family members, now united in a purpose even more urgent.

Back to the Present As they depart from the gas station, the crackling of a radio transmits a desperate SOS from Utica. Sasha and Megan share a knowing glance, understanding that their journey has just begun. But back at the farmhouse, a chilling twist awaits as Billy Jane, now transformed, claws her way out of the earth, signaling a dark threat that refuses to stay buried.
