Spoilers ahead
At Dark Waters, a sacred area belonging to Native Americans, the tranquility is shattered when a teenager is killed by a grotesque, plant-like monster. The next day, newcomer sheriff Kyle Williams arrives in Bywater, where he encounters deputy sheriff Fraser. Fraser reveals a chilling truth: the previous sheriff is among 47 people who have mysteriously disappeared since oil magnate Fred Schist acquired the ancient tribal lands from shaman and Seminole leader Ted Sallis, the first of the missing. Schist contends that Sallis legally sold off the land, claiming he fled with the cash, which has raised suspicions among the locals who oppose his drilling activities. Meanwhile, the notorious and treacherous Rene Laroque is actively sabotaging Schist’s operations.
