Synopsis
While in Wales visiting her husband James (Sean Bean), Adele (Maria Bello) tries to fix her relationship with her obnoxious and volatile pre-teen daughter Sarah (Sophie Stuckey). By the side of a cliff they see a weird memorial with evidence of a plate missing and with the name "
Annwyn " (Welsh for the afterlife) marked on it. A local man Dafydd (Maurice Roëves) explains that this would be the place where people go after dying in accordance with the Welsh mythology. Later, Sarah vanishes on the beach and another similar looking girl, named Ebrill (Abigail Stone) (Welsh for "April"), appears in her place. It transpires that she is the daughter of a local fanatic shepherd (who had his own religious cult) who died fifty years ago. Adele starts researching to find how to rescue her daughter from Annwyn, leading her into a maelstrom of supernatural terror.Cast
