Synopsis

Faith is a solitary woman who lives apart from the world, finding comfort in trees and other creatures of the night. When she gives herself completely to a lover, she believes she has found a way out of her isolation. His betrayal destroys that hope and awakens a deadly form of revenge. The trees around Faith tear free from the earth and pursue the man who abandoned her. In the end, she transforms him into a tree, creating a macabre union shaped by grief, loneliness, and magic.
