After fifteen years of silence, Sarah Chappel receives an urgent invitation to bring her teenage daughter Emma to the abandoned family cabin in the Minnesota woods for a week-long Thanksgiving reunion. Uncle Pete has spent two years restoring the property, but something is disturbingly wrong—the family members already gathered are acting strangely mechanical, preparing impossible amounts of meat, and forbidding anyone from entering the root cellar.As night falls, Sarah discovers deep scratches covering the cabin's exterior walls thirty feet up, while Uncle Pete maintains a frightening vigil with his flashlight. When Pete finally reveals that something has been visiting since he began the restoration—something connected to their ancestor Josiah and the winter of 1874 when thirteen family members disappeared—Sarah realizes they haven't been gathered for a reunion but to feed a tradition that demands its Thanksgiving dinner. The empty place settings for thirteen missing relatives and the words "STILL HUNGRY" scratched into the ancient table suggest that this year, the family might not be preparing the meal—they might be the meal.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!
