卡什（奥兰多·布鲁姆OrlandoBloom饰）试图过上诚实而安静的生活，在阿巴拉契亚山区奥丁县照顾他的侄女萨凡纳。而小镇的统治者、虐待狂女王“大猫”（安迪·麦克道威尔AndieMacDowell饰）强迫他回来为她服务，让卡什意识到他会做任何事来保护唯一的家人和小镇——甚至杀人。随着旅程变得更加艰难，卡什陷入了一个模糊善与恶之间界限的噩梦。
The film opens in a bleak police station where celebrated war correspondent Kate Rafter (Seagrove) faces questions from a psychiatrist, Dr Shaw (Kurylenko), as they work through the painful events of Rafter’s life. A horrific incident in war-torn Iraq and the death of her mother (Steed) have brought a haunted Rafter home to Herne Bay, a place she believed she had escaped forever. Her resentful sister (Friel) has not made her sister welcome and her forbearing husband Paul (Miles) fails to broker peace. Whilst packing up her mother’s belongings from her childhood home, Rafter comes to believe there is something strange and terrifying happening in the house next door.
