In the small town of Griffin Creek, on the eastern Canadian coast, young Stevens (Steve Banner) has finally returned home after a five-year departure following a violent dispute with his father. Many of the village girls pine for Stevens, but the only one he's interested in is Olivia (Charlotte Valandrey), the one girl who refuses his advances. One night, Olivia and her friend Nora (Laure Marsac) go missing, causing tensions to build until a body is found washed up on the shore.
