When his younger brother suddenly disappears without a trace, withdrawn teenager Jason becomes consumed by guilt and desperate for answers. Isolated at school and struggling under the weight of suspicion from both his peers and local authorities, Jason’s world shifts even further when he encounters Pab, a small and mysterious alien creature hiding deep in the woods near his home.
Convinced that Pab may somehow be connected to his brother’s disappearance, Jason reluctantly joins forces with his outspoken and loyal friend Stacy to uncover the truth. As strange events begin escalating around their small town, Detective Brady grows increasingly convinced that Jason is hiding something, placing mounting pressure on him from all sides.
Caught between fear, grief, and the possibility that something beyond human understanding may be responsible, Jason and Stacy race to help Pab return home before time runs out. But as the search for answers deepens, Jason is forced to confront the painful reality of his brother’s disappearance and decide how far he is willing to go for the chance to bring him back.
