Block Island
With a severe case of writer’s block and a deadline looming, Paul returns to his hometown on Block Island in an effort to finish his latest screenplay. Hunkered down in a beach rental, Paul’s destructive behavior isn’t the only unsettling thing locked away in the house. Paul is soon joined by others who share a complicated history with him: his younger siblings, who harbor resentment over his leaving them for a more successful life, and a woman with whom he shares a strong, but peculiar, bond.
As the weekend progresses, a storm traps them inside the house. With no way out and facing their troubled past, the house’s own history starts to haunt them. Paranoia and fear set in, and the threat becomes increasingly real. As history catches up with them, will facing the past head on be the only way for survival, or will doing so destroy them?
