Their suspicions grow when they stumble upon an abandoned houseboat with an array of curiosities inside: odd-looking weapons unnerving portraits maps to places they've never heard of and a glass jar containing something completely unidentifiable.As the group delves deeper into the unknown their discoveries  and their lives  begin to intertwine in weird and creepy ways.

Do they have what it takes to face the shadowy things that lurk within their own hearts?
