Film Details

About

This film is about family and community, set against the haunting beauty of the Scottish Highlands. 

The plot draws from real historical references that add depth and authenticity to the narrative. The legend of the Well of the Seven Heads is true, the witches are rooted in old Highland folklore, and Inverlair Lodge did, in fact, hold Nazi prisoners during the war.

At its heart, this is a story of a father who needs his daughter more than he realises. Through the grief of losing a loved one and the ghosts of his own battles, he finds love, strength, and a new unbreakable bond with his child.

Now it’s time to make the film—an adventurous, emotional, and down-to-earth supernatural thriller.

‘PRESENT DAY, NEW YORK.

Under a bus, SAM VERRO wipes oil from his face as his boss, ALAN, calls him over, urgency in his voice. The depot hums with life—clanking tools, revving engines—but Sam’s world shrinks as Alan delivers shocking news: his ex, MHAIRI, has died in a storm, swept into a Scottish river. His estranged 11 year old daughter, JACKS, is alone in Scotland.

Leaving New York behind and his dog with his sister Sharon, Sam arrives in an unfamiliar land and culture. Despite his military background, he is challenged by the remote Scottish Highlands especially when navigating its winding roads in an absurdly small rental car. As night falls, the local wildlife seems determined to drive him off the road.’
