Karyn Beatty, a middle-class wife living in Los Angeles, endures a devastating assault that leaves her traumatized with a miscarriage and a fractured sense of safety. In search of peace, she and her husband Roy retreat to a secluded California mountain village called Drago, hoping the quiet can help her heal.
