Helena Pelletier (Ridley) appears to be a normal woman living an idyllic life with her husband Stephen (Hedlund) and their daughters. However, her past is far from normal: she is the daughter of Jacob Holbrook (Mendelsohn), the notorious "Marsh King", a reclusive survivalist, kidnapper, rapist and murderer who abducted her mother (Pistorius) and held her captive in remote marshland for over a decade. Helena herself was raised in the wilderness, unaware she and her mother were Jacob's prisoners until she was ten years old. When Helena is informed that Jacob has recently escaped from prison, Helena fears for her family's safety. Using the survival skills her father taught her, Helena sets out to protect herself and her family, finally confronting the dark past she had tried to bury.
The film is set for release on November 3rd 2023. The trailer can be viewed [[https://youtu.be/FDnUVhLMqI0?si=lz8dPt95tVC0bd6t here]].
