Summary
When Kate joins her boyfriend’s friends at a remote countryside retreat, old wounds resurface as strange lights appear in the sky. As unease grows, members of the group begin to change-becoming unnervingly calm, kind, and “nice.” Dismissed as unstable, Kate struggles to convince the others something is wrong before the force behind it spreads.
