Mitten im Wald steht ein verfallenes Einfamilienhaus – das Elternhaus der ungleichen Geschwister Maria, Mikko und Matilda, zu dem sie Jahre später zurückkehren, um den Nachlass ihrer Eltern zu regeln. Das Haus und der Wald sind von einer dunklen Geschichte überschattet, denn 15 Jahre zuvor wurde der Vater des Trios brutal ermordet im Haus aufgefunden und auch die Jüngste, Matilda, in einem kleinen Käfig in der Ecke des Schlafzimmers entdeckt.

Bringt die Umgebung die Kindheitstraumata der Geschwister zum Vorschein oder geschieht etwas Übernatürliches im Wald? Die schlimmen Ereignisse scheinen sich zu wiederholen, als die Dunkelheit hereinbricht und niemand ist sicher.
