Sam Verro, a former U.S. Marine, travels to the Scottish Highlands after learning his daughter Jacks survived a mysterious accident that killed her mother. As Sam seeks to repair their broken relationship, they uncover that Jacks is part of an ancient bloodline targeted by a vengeful witch named Matilda. The pair must navigate treacherous wilderness, supernatural attacks, and a hidden coven operating from an abandoned castle. As danger escalates, Sam and Jacks confront the Seven Wraiths—ancient spirits bound to Matilda’s curse—and fight for their survival and their reconciliation as father/daughter.

A grounded emotional–supernatural adventure blending intimate human drama with dark Highland folklore. The film contrasts vast, unforgiving landscapes with close, observational camerawork, allowing tension to build through silence, atmosphere, and emotional proximity. The focus is on realism over spectacle.
