Spoilers ahead

In a remote, snow-laden valley outside Reno, Nevada, a family—Harry, Mark Heath, his wife Vera, their son Mikey, and daughter Tracy—settles in for a wintry camp along a rugged stretch of river. The peace of the landscape is punctured when a tired, nomadic man named Denton Bromley, who calls himself Pop, rolls up with a trailer and asks to spend the night. Pop spins a troubling tale about his cabin in the woods, where his son Bernie was raised, and about land developers who threatened to raze their home to make way for a resort.
