Anna and Nick are going through a rough patch with Nick having an affair. Both think they could use some time away, so the couple heads to the Alps in Switzerland, in the hopes that a nice stay at a vacation home might fix things. But what they encounter is stranger than anything they could have imagined.

A collision with a sheep unleashes a series of unsettling experiences, and talking animals, rekindled frustrations and strange doppelgangers soon become the new norm…
