Sam isn’t sure of much these days, but one thing is for sure. There’s a monster in the hills outside Hot Springs. The problem is, everyone says he’s seeing things as a result of his experience in the war and he is certain something nefarious is afoot.
As a Higgins boat pilot in the Pacific, Sam spent the duration of the war just trying to make it home to his family. His wife Annie has worked to keep the family farm running and care for their little girl, looking forward to the day her beloved Sam would return to them. However, Sam’s homecoming is tainted by fears and anxiety about the way his experiences have changed the man she knew. He insists that he sees people in the woods, and his erratic behaviors are frightening Annie. As she watches his tumble into madness, she fears he might be a danger to his family, especially as his obsession provokes the local mob. The breaking point comes when Sam brings disaster to their doorstep and the family must find a way to work together.
