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…
Actor-turned-writer-director Aaron Poole has fashioned a strange, atmospheric and artful debut that isn’t quite a horror film… or if it is, it’s the kind of horror film Michelangelo Antonioni might have made: full of questions and mysteries.

Also Playing
The Fugitive Kind
Sidney Lumet's movie brings together two of the greatest actors of the period, Brando and Anna Magnani, reason enough to check out this underrated poetical drama about a handsome musician who washes up in a small southern town.
Georgia O'Keeffe: the Brightness of Light
Drawing on her copious correspondence and the world's leading scholars, this is a definitive documentary on the life and work of "the mother of American Modernism."
Fairy Creek
Considered the largest act of civil disobedience in Canadian history, the Fairy Creek blockade led to more than 1200 arrests. What Jen Muranetz's film gives us is the story from the front line from the activists' point of view (often, from the treetops).
Super Happy Forever
This beguiling film depicts a man’s return to the Japanese seaside town where he met his now-deceased wife five years earlier. He tries to relive the past, and in the film's final section -- a flashback to 2018 -- the audience is afforded that privilege.
