Marco Wonder is about to turn 30, and he hates it.
Without job prospects, without a girlfriend, without a sustainable future, he desires something to anchor him, to give him direction in life. Unlike his brother, who found his purpose by returning to Puerto Rico to discover himself, Marco has no such aspiration to return to his roots. Instead, Marco decides to risk it all and confess his love for his best friend Pansy during the last hurrah before their college friend group continue on their separate ways through life.
Except, he’s worried Pansy isn’t interested. She’s also pregnant, and an item with her on again, off-again boyfriend Dean. But as Marco joins his friends for a weekend getaway to a cabin in upstate New York, they will soon discover a demonic creature older than forest, waiting to give direction to those who find themselves lost, for a bloody cost.
As the group crumbles apart because of sexual escapades, misplaced confessions, and eerie mishaps, they soon find themselves at the mercy of the Man of Wind and Moss. After a heinous and tragic ordeal, only Marco, Pansy, and their friend Sasha, a witchy and headstrong academic, survive.
But their trauma does not end when they are released from the forest. Unbeknownst to Marco, Sasha may have made an impulsive decision to save them all. Because Dean also returns from the woods… Only he’s a little tweaked …missing some fingers…missing his eyes…and driven by the Man of Wind and Moss to enact its bloody purpose.
