After a schoolgirl is raped while taking a short cut through the local woods, and another murdered a few days later, the police are baffled. With the help of a reporter, and against the wishes of a local psychologist, a young schoolteacher uses herself as bait to lure the perpetrator out.

This psychological thriller pivots from a standard police procedural into a chilling study of isolation and vulnerability. Rather than relying on jump scares, the tension builds through a schoolteacher's calculated decision to walk directly into the predator's path.
