Story

Four men who have known each other since childhood reunite each year for a hunting trip in the Maine woods. Their shared past includes a formative act of rescue involving a vulnerable boy who later becomes central to their lives.

This year’s trip is disrupted when a strange outsider appears in the woods, and soon the area is overtaken by alarming signs of an otherworldly threat. Quarantine, military intervention, and worsening danger force the friends to confront both the invasion and the hidden connection that binds them together.

As the crisis escalates, the story shifts between present danger and remembered childhood events, revealing how their past shaped their unusual bond and the abilities they share. Survival depends on both physical endurance and the strength of their friendship as they face a threat from beyond Earth.
