Spoilers ahead
Two people vanish along the Appalachian Trail: a young man jogging with his girlfriend and a reclusive hermit who rarely leaves his home. Sheriff Grady Barnes follows a trail that leads him to the hermit’s abandoned dwelling and, troublingly, to the discovery of the hermit’s remains in the woods. That same night, Roy Satterly reads by flashlight when a Bengal tiger briefly materializes in front of his bedroom window. By morning, his mother, Rose Satterly, finds him sleepwalking in the woods in front of their house. The eerie coincidence between a hidden killer in the trees and a household terror sets a grim mood for what’s to come, and the town begins to brace for a threat it cannot yet understand.
