On a mission to sell an old cabin for his family, Victor, a young and famous actor, returns with his beloved wife Alicia, to the place where he and his family spent countless happy times during their childhood; but where family happiness was cut short when as a child, he witnessed the death of his younger sister who, swimming in the lake, drowned despite his efforts to rescue her.

Returning to the cabin fills him with memories of pain and fear kept inside, and he begins to suffer from strong nightmares. The first night in the cabin, during a strong storm, Victor prepares a romantic evening with Alicia who in turn plans to give him a beautiful and great surprise that will change their lives. But just when she is ready to do so, they are both brutally attacked by something or someone.

Victor, determined not to rest until he knows who killed the love of his life and his son, begins to live nightmare moments that gradually turn into supernatural terrors. This journey will lead him to realize that the truth is even more terrifying than his worst nightmares.
