Lost for thirteen years, and being treasured by the heart of the overgrown forest, it has been hiding from the broken family that it could piece back together. Clouding the minds of her two children, the hurt mother tries to cope with her husband's mysterious disappearance. She locks her naive son and daughter out of an unfair world that still holds traces of the truth, but when her thirteen-year-old son sleeps, his tranquil dreams are tainted by ghoulish nightmares. As Eric La Belle steps through the woodlands of his oblivious sub-conscience, he crosses paths with a handful of suspicious strangers. When dark, reoccurring nightmares take shape in reality, hairy beasts lurk down from the spooky mountain forest. While Eric and his sister search for clues around their dad's legendary mystery, they are unaware that the mystery is actually searching for them. Eric La Belle will learn that he is something more than a mere mortal child. He will shed light on who he is supposed to be.
