THE TOTEM
By Cole Burgett

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE:

A young couple struggling to cope with a miscarriage move into a new home, only to find themselves sharing the house with a sinister presence.

SYNOPSIS:

After a young couple moves into a remote fixer-upper in the woods, hoping to heal from the trauma of a recent miscarriage, they discover that their “forever home” sits atop an ancient Native burial ground—and that a carved totem left behind by previous owners is more than just decoration. As strange occurrences escalate, the couple is pulled into a harrowing descent of nightmares, seizures, and shifting realities, culminating in the horrifying revelation that a cannibalistic spirit—the Wiindigo—is seeking a new host. As Ben begins to change, Anna races to uncover the truth with the help of a tribal historian and the only known survivor of a similar haunting. But time is running out. The totem cannot be destroyed. The Wiindigo must feed. And Anna must decide just how far she’s willing to go to save the man she loves before he’s lost forever.
