Hoping to save his sick mother, Gunner (Lonnie Chavis) ventures into the remote Wild Horse Forest to search for a mythical figure, the Water Man, who possesses the secret to immortality. The deeper Gunner and his companion Jo (Amiah Miller) venture, the stranger and more dangerous their surroundings become.
