Gli abitanti di un villaggio immerso nei boschi vivono in armonia con la natura, isolati dal resto del mondo. Non per tutti però l'isolamento è una scelta, in quanto da tempi immemorabili l'ingresso nei boschi, popolati da misteriose creature, è vietato. Il giovane Lucius, insofferente verso una tale imposizione, sfiderà il divieto e risveglierà i tanto temuti esseri.
