Fifteen-year-old Kai (talented newcomer Ciara Alexys) and her divorced dad Adam (James Gilbert) embark on a weekend getaway to a rustic cabin on Lake Huron… nestled next door to a massive nuclear power plant. On the way they start to play a family nonsense game. It seems innocent enough, and yet as the trip progresses, it slides into territory that is enigmatic but definitely disturbing…
