In 1897, there were only No. 60 people in a village in Pennsylvania, which was well organized and easy to manage. At first glance, this village at the end of the 19th century is simply a beautiful picture. The villagers live a peaceful and isolated life in a village full of pastoral style, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. However, behind this seemingly self-contained, close and stable rural community is hidden "common sense" that the villagers know-an unknown group of "creatures" live in the woods around the village. There is a simple and easy-to-understand agreement between villagers and "creatures"-"You don't offend me, I won't offend you", no one dares to go out of the village and into the woods.
"Don't go out of the village."-Such an unreasonable taboo certainly can't stop the curiosity of young people for knowledge. Lucius Hunterconstantly questioned this, hoping to step beyond the border of the village to explore the unknown world. Lucius turned a deaf ear to the advice of the village chief Edward Walkerand his mother Alice Hunt. The dangers of the woods and the strong desire for the outside world gnawed at him all the time. Only the village chief’s daughter Ivy Walkercan calm him a little bit. Ivy is a beautiful blind girl, but her birth defects allow her to have wisdom and extraordinary abilities beyond her age-Lucius and another young man in the village Noah Passyare deeply in love with this unique girl. It was Ivy's brave nature and God-given perception that helped Lucius make up his mind, and finally embarked on the forbidden road and entered the forest to reveal the terrible truth.
The "peace treaty" between the villagers and the "creatures" was thus invisibly torn up. This originally very calm forest began to become creepy and threatening. An evil force began to attack the village, and the whole village fell into In a panic. Lucius must bravely stand up to face all this, clean up the mess he made by himself, and save the entire village.
