Lexi, a young protester, chains herself to an ancient oak tree marked for felling. She is confronted by Jack, a jovial but unsettling chainsaw-wielding local who spins tales of Dryads, seductive tree-nymphs who protect the forest. As her friends fail to return and Jack’s intentions remain unclear, Lexi is left terrified, alone, and unsure whether she is caught in a game, a trap, or something far stranger.
