On a cross-country drive in their RV, the Matthews family – consisting of parents Jim and Tabitha and children Julie and Ethan – encounter a fallen tree blocking the road, forcing them to take a detour into a small town. The local sheriff, Boyd, instructs them to follow the tree road through town. As the Matthews continue driving, they find themselves repeatedly looping back into town, until they encounter another car that runs them off the road, causing the RV to flip and crash. Fearing nightfall, the townspeople arrive to help, bringing the passengers of the other car, Tobey and Jade, back to town, while Boyd and the town doctor, Kristi, stay in the overturned RV with Jim to help Ethan, who is immobile due to a serious leg wound. In a hurry to find shelter, the car driven by deputy Kenny accidentally runs over a spike strip left on the road, prompting Kenny, Tabitha, Julie, Father Khatri, Jade, and Boyd's estranged son Ellis, to run for the "Colony House" before dark. Back in the RV, as night falls, strangers slowly approach the vehicle and surround it. | ||||||

As per their protocol, Tabitha, Julie and the unconscious Jade are separated and confined for their safety. In the RV, Kristi, Boyd, and Jim stabilize Ethan, while the strangers surround the vehicle. Simultaneously, Boyd and Donna explain to Jim and Tabitha the situation in the town: the surrounding woods are full of intelligent, shape-shifting creatures that kill for sport. All the town residents are people who arrived at the town and became trapped, with the earliest surviving resident being a strange man named Victor. Boyd had discovered mysterious talismans that, when placed inside an enclosed structure, act as a shield from the monsters. At the clinic, Sara is commanded by the voices to kill Tobey and open the door; the monsters enter and brutally kill everyone, including Kenny's elderly father.

Passing by a strange structure in the middle of town, Khatri explains that the town's only form of punishment is the "Box", where the culprit is confined overnight and left exposed to the monsters.

Blaming himself for getting his mother killed, Victor goes to chop down the bottle tree but the Boy in White stops him. Sara hallucinates the voices and explains to Boyd that the voices claim that Fatima has little time left. Knowing how much she means to the residents of the Township, Donna calls a town meeting at the newly reopened diner and everyone splits off into pairs to find Fatima. Boyd tells Kenny that his Parkinson's has progressed and that Kenny needs to be ready to take over leadership. Elgin tries to convince Ellis that Fatima's disappearance is a good thing, making Ellis suspicious of him. Still trapped, Fatima finds a hidden hatch on the floor but the "kimono woman" appears and holds Fatima down to keep her quiet. Tabitha has a vision of one of the children who she and Julie follow to the cellar. They find Victor inside and Tabitha has a vision of Miranda's death and becomes distressed. | ||||||

Ellis deduces that Elgin knows Fatima's location, so Boyd confines him to Colony House and they interrogate him. Elgin confesses to talking with the "kimono woman" and that Fatima's baby will free them. Victor takes Henry to Miranda's gravesite and confesses that he is responsible for her death. Boyd confronts Elgin alone and tortures him by smashing his right hand with a hammer. Sara later tortures Elgin by removing his left eye with a screwdriver, and he reveals Fatima's location. The "kimono woman" helps Fatima give birth before disappearing down the hatch with the amniotic sac just as Boyd and Ellis arrive. Fatima reveals that the creatures gained immortality by sacrificing their children. Boyd heads down the hatch alone and witnesses the "smiley creature" being reborn. Jim, Tabitha, and Jade discover that the numbers from the bottle tree refer to musical notes. They play the music at the bottle tree which summons the children who help Tabitha and Jade remember their past lives, that Tabitha was Miranda and Jade was Christopher who both died trying to save the children. Jim runs into a distressed Julie before the mysterious "Man in the Yellow Suit" confronts them and rips out Jim's throat. |
