The secret cult known as the Rite of Cycle summon Julian to return to the community he fled and search for a missing boy whose disappearance threatens the life of his adult son, Thomas. Against his mother's wishes, Thomas accompanies Julian into the woods to help find the missing boy, driven by a desire to unravel the secrets of his fractured family.
