After a warning not to come to their family lake house in Maine, Lyla and Ed bring their brother Martin back into the family conversation, intending to stage an intervention for a man who is convinced the military has experimented on him. They arrive to find Martin spiraling into paranoia, convinced that a monster is trapped in the basement. He explains that he found a mysterious pod while hunting in the woods and believes it to be part of a government plot to create artificial, inanimate killers. In a troubling move, Martin has pulled several of his teeth in a bid to uncover a supposed tracking device, and though he destroyed it, he cannot prove his theory to his skeptical siblings.
