Mary Kwon Mary Kwon

This film will be screened in-person and online.

Mary Kwon is an English professor at a community college. One day, she drops her classes mid-semester, and journeys to an isolated house in the woods. The house where, decades ago, her mother was put under arrest and went missing. As Mary tries doing some self-healing and creative writing work, she notices odd noises in the home and surrounding forest. At night, two visitors drop in: Terrence and Granger. They are a couple of mysterious hikers, and Terrence suffers a sudden psychosomatic illness. Mary uses her wiles to help him recover, but as the night continues, things around them just get stranger and stranger.
