A small news team, played by AJ Bowen (You’re Next, The House of the Devil), Joe Swanberg (You’re Next, V/H/S) join a desperate man on a search for his missing sister (Amy Seimetz (Stranger Things, Pet Semetary). After a tip off, the group travels to Eden Parish and the documentary filming begins… But when they arrive at the supposedly peaceful sanctuary, it soon becomes clear that this isn’t the remote paradise they’d been looking for.
Greeted by armed guards, the crew start to question what they’ve walked into. Word reaches them that they must meet the leader of the seemingly joyful community. When they enter the parish and are brought in front of ‘Father’ things soon take a terrifying turn. As their worst nightmare becomes all too real, will they make it out alive?
