In a remote and devout rural village, a young woman named Magpie murders her abusive husband in a moment of desperation. But her act of defiance has supernatural consequences—awakening a mysterious creature in the nearby forest. Soon after, the Beast begins to stalk and kill men in the village, particularly those with dark secrets. As paranoia spreads, the villagers descend into fear and suspicion. With old religious tensions and guilt boiling over, Magpie becomes the target of a brutal witch-hunt led by her own father, the community’s rigid pastor. As the line between justice and vengeance blurs, Magpie must confront the sins of her past and the monstrous truth that now lurks in the woods—a horror born of violence, repression, and belief.
