Logline

Dallas arrives in Branford with a suitcase and a new rental house ahead of him. At the edge of the property, the tall grass opens onto a marsh where trail cameras, a mapped notebook, and a small sensor node suggest that someone—or something—has been watched for a long time.

The film

The screenplay moves from arrival and discovery, through an encounter with an injured creature and a widening tracking network, toward a return to the marsh.
