Daisy (Saoirse Ronan), a teenager from New York, is sent to the English countryside for the summer to stay with cousins.

Along with Eddie’s younger siblings, Isaac (Tom Holland) and Piper (Harley Bird), they are left in isolation and forced to fend for themselves. When they are violently separated Daisy must embark on a terrifying journey in order to be reunited with the boy she loves.
