Based on the Critically Acclaimed, Award-Winning Screenplay

In a post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest, where mysterious creatures hunt the isolated, and survivors fight for dominance, can Ren protect her family in a world turned deadly?

In the wake of a catastrophic meteor shower, Ren, a haunted but brilliant 17-year-old, is thrust into a fight for her life. After a tragic loss, what was meant to be a peaceful sailing trip with her family spirals into chaos when a tidal wave leaves them stranded and adrift.

Rescued after months at sea, they return to shore far from home, only to confront the terrifying presence of banshees -- phantom creatures that prey on anyone caught alone. With survival hinging on safety in numbers, Ren must embark on a dangerous journey with her siblings to rescue their mother. Along the way, deep feelings ignite between Ren and a courageous Australian ally, further complicating her mission.

As Ren's path is threatened by a desperate gang, she must navigate a treacherous wilderness where trust is fragile and loyalties are tested. Confronting her own emotional scars, the weight of leadership, and a tumultuous first love, can Ren lead her family safely back home?
