A wildlife photographer travels to a remote Louisiana bayou to document the elusive ivory-billed woodpecker. Her guide is a recluse who knows the treacherous wetlands intimately. As they venture deeper into the swamp, they find themselves hunted by something ancient and malevolent that dwells in the murky water, forcing them to rely on each other to survive a primal force of nature.
